Internship Opportunities
Western Connecticut State University’s Tickborne Disease Prevention Laboratory accepts applications for seasonal Summer Research Assistants each year. The primary focus of the research is to investigate new tactics for preventing tickborne disease in residential environments. Students are provided the opportunity of working with scientists and contributing to new knowledge about tickborne disease prevention.
Research assistants collect tick samples at study locations in Fairfield County, as part of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded study. Other duties will include cataloging samples, entering data, identifying and quantifying arthropods, and other study duties as necessary. The applicant must be available from mid-May through the first week of August.
Minimum Qualifications: must be an undergraduate student studying biology (or related field), have a minimum 3.0 GPA, be willing to work primarily outdoors but also in the laboratory, have a car that can be used for transportation to study locations (mileage will be reimbursed). Candidates should also be able to work independently, have strong verbal and written communication skills, possess excellent organizational skills, have working knowledge of PC and Mac computers and MS Office programs, and have a professional demeanor.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO OPENINGS AT THIS TIME. Check back in early 2019 for spring/summer opportunities!
