About NIG internships:
The National Institute of Genetics (NIG)/Department of Genetics at SOKENDAI offers a research internship program for undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in knowing more about genetics and related life sciences. Internships will conduct their own research while being mentored by a host scientist at NIG.
Scientific research training, scientific communication training, and lab visits to speak with specific principal investigators are all part of this curriculum. At the conclusion of the program, interns will give a presentation about their experience at the “NIGINTERN Reports Workshop.” NIG will issue a certificate to those who successfully finish this program. Internships can also attend events led by notable researchers from both inside and outside NIG, such as graduate program lectures, journal clubs, and seminars. Japanese language classes are also available.
