Undergraduate Internships

Connect with affiliated faculty, get valuable research experience and get paid over the summer. A number of programs at Stanford offer undergraduate students ways to get involved in research and build expertise in disase ecology, health and environmental sciences at Stanford. Apply early because some opportunities have class and prerequisite requirements.

In some cases, opportunities for summer internships are posted by faculty (such as VPUE, MUIR, SESUR, and many others), In other cases, students have to submit a research proposal (see UAR student grants). We recommend to carefully check deadlines, contact core faculty ahead of time and be pro-active and creative: if there is a match between the interests of an applicant and a lab, there is a good possibility to find a grant opportunity for a research internship through Stanford.

Volunteering

Our events often have a need for student volunteers to help coordinate them, set up/break down, take notes, or help us communicate about the event. Those events on our calendar with volunteer opportunities are marked with a 'v'.

Upcoming Events

Courses

There are many relevant courses at Stanford -- so many that it is hard to navigate them all. We can help.
Climate and Society | EARTH 2 | Winter

Instructor & Department: Burke, Marshall | Earth Systems

Co-instructors: Diffenbaugh, Noah; Lobell, David; Fisk, Jonathan

How and why is the climate changing? How might a changing climate affect human society? And what can we do to alter the course of climate change and adapt to any climatic changes that do occur? This course provides an introduction to the natural science and social science of climate change. The focus is on what science tells us about the causes, consequences, and solutions to climate change, as well as on how scientific progress is made on these issues.

Designing Environmental Research | ENVRES 320 | Winter

Instructor & Department: Davis, Jenna | Environment and Resources

Research design options for causal inference in environmentally related research. Major philosophies of knowledge and how they relate to research objectives and design choices. Identification of critical elements within a broad range of research designs. Evaluation of the types of research questions for which different designs are suited, emphasizing fit between objectives, design, methods, and argument. Development of individual research design proposals, including description and justification understandable to a non-specialist.

Discussions in Global Health | MED 232 | Autumn

Instructor & Department: Barry, Michele | Medicine

The goal of this interactive series is to encourage students to think broadly about the variety of activities encompassed within global health and the roles of various entities, including NGOs, governments, and healthcare providers, in responding to large-scale health crises, building health systems, and caring for patients in developing countries. Examines challenges in global health such as organizing medical responses to natural disasters, providing healthcare to societies in conflict, and integrating traditional and modern approaches to healing. Case studies are used to critique strategies employed by organizations that work to improve medical care in poor settings.
