Within those 12 weeks, the fellows gain hands-on experience while completing a project. Applications for the Conservation Science Summer Fellowships can be submitted until February 15, Applicants can only apply for one team, not multiple teams.
Applications can be submitted through our careers page. Current undergraduate students must be officially associated with a college or university to be eligible for the fellowship program. Undergraduates who are currently enrolled in college meet this criterion, as well as graduating seniors who are continuing their education in the fall following their graduation. Recent graduates who are not continuing their education in the fall of the same year are not eligible to apply.
Fellowships are 40 hours per week for 12 weeks. Reproductive Sciences innovates and applies science and technology to solve reproductive challenges and support the conservation of endangered species.
The major areas of investigation include gamete physiology, assisted reproductive technology, hormone monitoring, environmental toxicology, avian physiology, cell culture, stem cell biology, and cryobiology and biobanking. Plant Conservation researches the restoration and management of rare plant populations, both ex situ and in situ.
This team is seeking two research fellows, one to join the micropropagation and cryopreservation lab and one to join the Native Plant Gene Bank for seed banking, testing, and propagation. Independent projects are developed with mentors to meet program and conservation needs, aligning with the skill sets and interests of the selected applicants.
