How to Apply
To apply for a CCI internship, use the Apply
link located on the floating navigation bar on the left side of your screen.
The application allows you to fill out the application in a number of
sessions. From the several different laboratories, you will be asked
to
choose one laboratory where you wish to attend. Applicants may choose
to apply to one lab, if they have a specific preference or a specific
research interest, or to all labs that offer the CCI program, if their
research interest is more general.
Please check the Key Dates for deadlines and when you can expect to
hear relevent news on your application. If you are chosen by the laboratory,
you must accept the offer within two weeks of notification by clicking
on the "Accept" button on your status page or you will be
removed from consideration.
If you decline your offer, you will be removed from the selection listing.
Early submission of the completed application is strongly encouraged.
Remember the earlier you complete and submit your application the less
likely you are to encounter difficulties.
Selection
- The selection of a participant is based on academic coursework; recommendations;
scientific interests; compatibility of the applicant's background and
interests with the research programs at the facilities; and the availability
of funds, programs, and staff.
- The initial person to select a student for an internship in most
labs is the researcher who is volunteering to be a mentor. Once the
researcher/mentor
has chosen a student as an intern it is approved by the respective
lab Education Office. No researcher/mentor can make a direct offer
to a student.
Only the Education Office of the laboratory can make the offer.
- Recruitment and selection of participants is done without regard to
race, gender, age, color, religion, national origin, mental or physical
disability, or status as a Vietnam Era veteran.
