Description

The Biochemical Society’s Summer Vacation Studentships give undergraduates in biochemistry, molecular bioscience and related subjects opportunities to develop practical and transferable skills. Research studentships support independently organised, four-to-six-week projects involving laboratory work, computational biology, bioinformatics, or a combination of these. Students work within a research group on a specified project with a dedicated supervisor.

The programming strand provides self-led online training in R and Python, helping students develop analytical and computational tools for future studies, career progression and graduate school applications. The publishing and engagement strand offers a remote project on the Society’s community magazine, The Biochemist. Working with the Content and Communities Manager, students gain experience in commissioning content, scientific publishing, outreach and communicating molecular bioscience to diverse audiences.
