The internship is offered to Russian Masters students, PhD students, or young researchers connected to a Russian university. Applicants must be studying within the field of biology specialized in molecular systematics, phylogeny, phylogeography, or a related field. The successful candidate will be given responsibility for a sub-project (can be developed to a masters project), and will be trained in molecular laboratory work and analyses of genetic data. The internship is for a four-month stay at UNIS during fall 2010 or spring 2011.
