We are thrilled to be hosting Women in Science interns during the Summer.
The internship applicants should be prepared to be in person, not online. Interns are expected to work full-time, Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm (unless otherwise arranged with the supervisor). To be considered, applicants need to:
- Be a high school or undergraduate student at the time of application
- Be a talented and motivated individual interested in the sciences
- Have an Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, or Michigan address to be considered.
