Summer Internships

The Greenwood Genetic Center offers six internship positions each summer for qualifying college students. Each internship lasts 8-10 weeks and includes a stipend of $2,000. Housing is not provided.

Internships are available in several areas of genetics including diagnostic testing, research, bioinformatics, and genetic counseling. All applications will be considered; however, preference is given to rising college juniors and seniors. GGC faculty members will directly contact potential candidates to arrange interviews.

GGC Diversity Stipend
Additional funding is available for one student from an underrepresented or underprivileged background to assist with travel or housing costs during the summer.

Students who wish to be considered for this additional funding should submit a separate brief statement addressing their qualifications which include, but are not limited to, ethnic or racial minorities, first in the family to attend college, those with a disability, those raised in a rural area, those from a low-income home, etc.

Application process:

• Consider your preferred area of interest (diagnostic lab, research lab, bioinformatics or genetic counseling). You may also select a second choice area of interest.
