Summer Research Internship: Center for Musculoskeletal Research
Each summer, the Center for Skeletal Research (CSR) offers undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in a paid summer research internship in one of its many labs spread out across the Boston area. The CSR Summer Scholars program is aimed at cultivating research opportunities for students with a passion for biomedical research, engineering, and basic science, specifically as it relates to bone or other musculoskeletal tissues. Scholars will work alongside the top researchers in the field for a hands-on research project. Scholars will be matched as best as possible to a lab that suits their interest based on application questions, and the Scholar will work closely with their PI to develop a summer project. If you want a top-notch research experience and an unforgettable summer in Boston, apply today to get a hands-on paid research experience with the Summer Scholars Program!
