Description: Bryn Mawr College, through a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, announces new undergraduate internship and fellowship opportunities. These new internships and fellowships will provide opportunities for work in a range of laboratory and educational settings and are in addition to on-going fellowships available for on-campus summer research with science and mathematics faculty.

Pre-College Science Education Internships: Two Horizons internships are available for undergraduates interested in careers in pre-college science and mathematics education. Students may pursue a variety of ten-week internship options, including working with the K-12 Summer Institute Outreach Program, and assisting K-12 teachers with curriculum projects. Students will be able to draw on the extensive relationships that Bryn Mawr College has established with local schools. Proposals should be developed in consultation with science and education program faculty, and off-campus internship sponsors as appropriate. 

College Science Education Internships: Two Horizons internships are available for undergraduates interested in careers in science and mathematics to gain experiences in pedagogy at the college level. The ten-week internships are for work with Bryn Mawr science and mathematics faculty on course and curriculum development projects. Prospective interns will develop a project in collaboration with a science faculty member, who will provide a letter of support. 

Off-Campus Research Internships: Four Horizons internships are available for undergraduates interested in careers in science with support for mentored research projects in off-campus environments. This internship is designed to enable students to undertake mentored research projects in the biomedical science in off-campus environments. Potential internship sites include industry and government labs, research universities, and medical centers. Letters of commitment from outside sponsors are required. Students are encouraged to contact Xenia Morin, science faculty, or the Career Development Office if they need assistance in identifying appropriate research settings. The HHMI Advisory Committee will review applications and select the finalists. Awards will be subject to the approval by the Undergraduate Dean. A summary of the selected projects, in the form of research abstracts, will be posted on the Colleges' Summer Science web site.  Intern supervisors will submit an evaluation of the student's work.
