2024 CiRA Research Internship Program
The CiRA Research Internship Program welcomes graduate students and undergraduates to conduct research at CiRA for a short period.
We introduce a few participants of this year's CiRA Research Internship Program in a series of short articles on CiRA Reporter.
Eligibility | Undergraduate (mainly the 3rd and 4th year) and graduate students who wish to enroll in CiRA |
---|---|
Period | 1-6 consecutive weeks in summer season (from June to October, depending on the host lab) |
Location |
Center for iPS Cell Research and
Application (CiRA), Kyoto University |
Participation fee |
Domestic university students: ※Overseas university students will be accepted under the Kyoto University Short-Term International Students System.
※Students affiliated with the overseas university which concludes the Academic Exchange Agreement with Kyoto University are free from the above-mentioned fee. |
Transportation and accommodation expenses |
※As a matter of principle, we make a bank transfer to domestic university student after the internship, also we will pay in cash (Japanese yen) to overseas university student during a stay. ※Travel expenses are paid in accordance with the Kyoto University Regulations. Please note that transportation expenses will not be provided when you have any private affairs (anything that has no relationship with the internship such as traveling or going home for holidays) before and/or after the Program. |
Number of positions | Each lab can host maximum of two students, including maximum of one student from overseas university. (Depending on the labs) |
