Internship for Graduate Students and Post-doctoral Researchers in IDeA States
Are you interested in including quantitative proteomics in your current research? Are you interested in an alternative career pathway in biomedical research? The IDeA National Resource for Quantitative Proteomics is seeking current graduate students or post-doctoral researchers to apply for a short-term internship, which will provide exposure to daily operations and best business practices in a core facility. Applicants should have current, ongoing research that would benefit from an in-depth quantitative proteomics analysis and have interest in exploring a career in a proteomics core facility. Awardees will receive a voucher for one quantitative proteomics analysis that will be completed as part of the on-site internship.
INBRE supports graduate assistantships and post-doctoral fellowships in biomedical programs at the University of Idaho, Boise State University, and Idaho State University. Since 2001, 511 graduate students and 44 post-docs have received INBRE funding.
Criteria for competitive student selection include academic performance, under-represented status, a productive work environment, defined research goals, and a mentoring plan.
Students sponsored by INBRE are mentored, and annual feedback from both the student and the major professor are required to assess progress and assure successful educational experiences.
INBRE graduate students and post-docs are encouraged to take the NIBMS-sponsored, ‘Planning Your Scientific Journey’, an online NIGMS iBiology training course. They are also required to develop Individual Development Plans through AAAS or the NIGMS research training link.
Note that this opportunity is funded through the major professor of the graduate student or post-doctoral fellow. Students do not apply directly to INBRE.
