A internship offered by OIST in Japan.
The organiser describes this as fully funded. On this site that means tuition and accommodation are recorded as covered; flights are left as not stated until we have confirmed them, because they vary between programmes that use the same phrase. This is aimed at applicants at Bachelor's level.
Before you apply
Open the official page and confirm three things: that the deadline still stands, that you meet the eligibility criteria as they are written there, and what documents you will need. Applications fail more often on a missing document than on a weak candidate.
Every detail here is checked against the organisation's own page, and that page is the authority: deadlines move, eligibility is rewritten, and programmes are withdrawn without announcement. Confirm before you apply.
How to apply
Only online applications are accepted. Create an account, prepare every document in English as a single PDF, and upload it. The application cannot be submitted until at least one recommendation letter has arrived in the system, so approach your referees well before the deadline.
Placements run four to six months in a laboratory you nominate, subject to the host unit having space and funding.
What you will need
- Online application
- CV
- Academic transcripts
- At least one recommendation letter submitted through the system
- Statement of research interest
Eligibility notes
For students in the last two years of a bachelor's degree, any year of a master's, or recent graduates of either, in Japan or overseas.
Details can change without notice. Confirm everything on the organisation's own page before you apply — see our disclaimer. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
