How does one find internships? Unfortunately, many of my peers are having trouble finding science-related internships, mainly ones relating to lab work, and I myself don't know where to start.
Google is your friend. Get intimate with it. There are a lot of databases/lists of internships floating around, but you usually have to dig a bit to find them.
Here’s an incomplete list of ones I’ve personally taken note of. Most are in the US or the UK, and they’re mostly available to international students. There are MANY more programs open to US and EU citizens; you guys have a lot more options.
LISTS of STEM internships/programs in all fields:
- Berkeley (geared towards Medical/Health Sciences but with lots of general links too)
- DAAD RISE (in Germany)
- Database at Pathways to Science (HEAPS of stuff to search through)
- NASA
- National Science Foundation’s list of REUs (Research Experience for Undergraduates)
- Nature (science writing AND general STEM)
- New Scientist
- Smithsonian (SO MANY)
- Stanford
Specific STEM fields:
Astronomy and Physics
- ASTRON/JIVE Summer Student Programme 2013
- Center for Research and Exploration in Space Science and Technology (CRESST)
- Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) Summer Intern in Planetary Science
- Space Telescope Science Institute: Research Space Astronomy Summer Program
- University of Colorado, Boulder - 2014 REU Program in Solar and Space Physics
- University of Arkansas: Summer Research Internships for Undergraduates with the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences
- LIST at APS Physics
- LIST at AstroBetter
- LIST at University of Iowa
- REALLY LONG LIST at Carleton University
Environmental Science
- Alaska Sealife Center
- Natural History Research Experiences
- SERC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
- LIST at UC Davis
- LIST at U Iillinois
- ARCHIVES at Ecolog
Australian Programs
- AAO Student Fellowship Program
- Australian Gemini Undergraduate Summer Studentships
- CASS Undergraduate Vacation Scholarship Program 2013
- CSIRO vacation scholarships
- International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research
- Macquarie University - Summer Vacation Research Scholarships
- University of New South Wales
- UNSW Exoplanetary Science Vacation Scholarships
- UQ Summer Research Scholarship Program
- Vacation Scholarships in Astronomy at CAS
LISTS of Science Writing Internships:
- American Association for the Advancement of Science (including an internship for minorities)
- Nature
- Nature (science writing AND general STEM)
- Washington & Jefferson College
Specific Science Writing Internships
- AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship
- Australian Geographic
- Brookhaven National Laboratory
- European Southern Observatory
- Fermilab
- New Scientist (2013 link, but keep an eye on it for 2014 openings)
- Wellcome Trust
- Wired Magazine
Basically, do your research, because this is a hugely incomplete list, but hopefully this gets you started.
Spread this around! My extensive Googling skills have to be good for something.
