The Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine is a globally recognized center of scientific research, led by Dr. Claire M. Fraser-Liggett. IGS scientists apply the powerful tools of genomics and bioinformatics to biomedical and environmental challenges, and collaborate with world-renowned researchers in immunology, virology, infectious disease, and epidemiology.

Our internship program provides opportunities for students at all levels to participate in IGS research. Interns are matched to a faculty or senior staff member who is working on projects most suited to the intern's area of interest.

If you are interested in being part of the cutting edge research at IGS, please fill out and submit the internship application form. We will review your areas of interest and skills and contact you if we are able to make a match with one of our available opportunities. Please bear in mind that we have more applicants who wish to work with us than we have available internship positions so only a subset of applications will result in placement.
