Paid Virtual Undergraduate Internship in Biomedical Science at Yale University

The Yale VIBES Program (Virtual Internships in Biomedical Education in Science) offers a unique paid, virtual internship opportunity for undergraduate students seeking to gain hands-on biomedical research experience during the academic year. Hosted by the Rachel Perry Lab at Yale University School of Medicine and supported by the Yale Cancer Center CRTEC, this program is designed to expand access to research for students from non-research-intensive universities and those interested in pursuing graduate studies. The internship is open to both domestic and international students, provided they are currently attending a U.S. college or university, regardless of citizenship status. Participants will engage in virtual research activities, receive mentorship from Yale faculty, and develop skills relevant to biomedical science, cancer research, and graduate school preparation. The program aims to foster growth in aspiring biomedical researchers and is especially welcoming to students who may not have had previous research opportunities. The application process is straightforward, with all details and links provided in the announcement. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2026. Funding is provided in the form of a paid internship, though specific stipend amounts are not disclosed. The program does not require a minimum GPA, major, or prior research experience, making it accessible to a broad range of students. Interested applicants should scan the QR codes in the announcement or visit the provided links to learn more and apply. This is an excellent opportunity for undergraduates to gain valuable research experience, network with leading scientists, and prepare for future graduate studies in biomedical fields.
