SBI Undergraduate InternshipsThe Subsurface Biosphere Initiative (SBI) supports a summer undergraduate internship program. Its goal is to provide undergraduates with rewarding research experiences at Oregon State University that will stimulate their interest in the subsurface biosphere and encourage them to pursue graduate studies. The program focuses on, but is not limited to, under-represented minority and women students. Interns receive a monthly stipend and are mentored by an OSU faculty member. Apply for a Summer 2008 InternshipSBI will support up to 15 interns this summer. Applicants are encouraged to seek out a faculty mentor and to discuss possible research topics before applying to the program. Please see the SBI faculty directory for a list of faculty interest areas. SBI will contribute up to $1000/month and $3000 total for the hourly costs of each intern. This support can be augmented with research funds from the intern's faculty mentor. Please contact Garrett Jones at sbi@oregonstate.edu or 541-737-2751 with any questions or to request more information about the internship program. To apply, please submit the following items: a cover letter stating your interest, a resume, and two references with contact information (address, phone and e-mail address). Please state in the cover letter whether you have contacted an OSU faculty member about a potential project. Please send these items to Garrett Jones through one of these methods:
Applications are now being accepted and will be reviewed on receipt. Approval is contingent on the availability of an appropriate faculty mentor and a suitable research project. Because of the limited number of internships available, please apply early.
