Rutgers Summer Research Internship Program

Rutgers Institute for Health
Email

The Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research (IFH) Summer Research Internship Program is designed for U.S.-based undergraduate/graduate students interested in public health, biomedical or social science research. 

This program is a 10-week internship opportunity for qualified students who would like to gain hands-on, guided and practical experience on a project related to the interdisciplinary areas of research at IFH. While IFH represents a variety of research focuses, candidates interested in health disparities in diverse racial/ethnic populations are encouraged to apply. 

Over the course of 10 weeks, you will: 

  • Gain hands-on research experience working on a research project led by a faculty mentor, meeting with mentors at least once per week
  • Receive general mentorship and guidance from your faculty mentor about your research career
  • Attend in-person seminars to network with peers and faculty at the Institute for Health in New Brunswick, NJ (not required, but encouraged)
  • Participation in this summer internship will begin the week of June 9 and culminate in a final presentation the week of August 11 based on the individual’s research project.

This is a part-time program and participants are welcome to take additional summer classes and/or hold other employment during the program period. The expected time commitment is a minimum of 20 hours per week. A stipend will be provided.

Please review the 9 project options students can apply to work on via the Rutgers Qualtrics application link. Students will submit a resume or CV and cover letter indicating the project that aligns with their interests and experience.

Some projects require/prefer in-person meetings. Some projects can accommodate remote-only students. Living near New Brunswick is not a requirement, but if you're local, it's encouraged to attend the regular seminars held throughout the summer.

*Applications will only be accepted via the Rutgers Qualtrics application link.
