Quantitative Summer Internships for HIV/AIDS Research @ Duke/UNC
For graduate students in a quantitative discipline
Website: https://cfar.duke.edu/cores/quantitative-sciences-core/2020-Intern
We are offering paid summer internships during Summer 2020 to do research in HIV/AIDS for graduate students in quantitative disciplines. Your research may include data analysis, visualization, machine learning, computer simulation, mathematical modeling or device engineering, together with opportunities for fieldwork or hands-on benchwork in the lab. You will be jointly mentored by an HIV research scientist and a quantitative faculty member (who could be your current research advisor if appropriate). Interns will gain valuable hands-on experience in a collaborative setting, increased knowledge in HIV/AIDS research, and strengthen oral and written communication skills. You will also get the opportunity to present your work at national and international HIV/AIDS conferences.
Applications are open to all qualitied graduate students from any institution and is not restricted to Duke and UNC graduate students.
The internships are funded by a research education grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
