Instruct Internships

The Instruct Internship Programme funds research visits of 3-6 months duration to Instruct Centres in Europe. The aim is to facilitate valuable collaborations with Instruct research groups applying techniques that are not available in the applicant’s laboratory. Applications should specifically focus on the benefit to the applicant’s research. For more details please consult the Internship Guildelines appended to each call.

Internships cover travel plus subsistence of the intern only and not of dependents.
Applicants should be pre-doctoral scientists (PhD students) and early-stage postdoctoral fellows.
Internships are awarded for exchanges between laboratories in different countries.
Internships may be hosted at any Instruct Facility.
Proposals must have the approval of the hosting Institution or Department.
Internships should be taken within one year of the award.
The home laboratory (applicant’s usual workplace) must be within an Instruct Member country or organisation.
On completion of the internship applicants must return to their home laboratory.
On completion of the internship applicants must complete the internship report.

Connecting Researchers

Internships are open to PhD Students and postdoctoral fellows from across Instruct's members and organisations, connecting early-career researchers with advanced structural biology techniques and expertise from across Europe. Since 2013, we have provided a platform for new scientists to interact and learn from the very best structural biology researchers from our centres.
