Student opportunities

Hi students,

We have a running list of opportunities, primarily for undergraduate students but also including high school and postbacs and beyond. These opportunities range from multi-year in-person roles to remote roles lasting half a month and everything in between.

The last time these opportunities were updated was: December 2025

Please note that this spreadsheet is just a list that we have collected; we are not affiliated with any of these opportunities and while we’ve given them a look over it is up to you to read up more about each in detail.

How to use the spreadsheet

It’s easiest to download a copy of the spreadsheet to your local computer or make a copy for your own use to be able to use the filters. Please note you cannot filter or change the width of the columns in the original sheet.

To use the spreadsheet, I suggest specifically looking at opportunities that match the following needs for you and then manually check the website or eligibility column to see if it’s a good match in greater detail:

  • The area of interest you want (ex. health sciences, genomics, ecology)
  • Location
  • Whether the opportunity is paid or not
  • Whether the opportunity is remote or in person

Missing information?

Do note that not every opportunity has a completely filled out row of information. I have tried to be conservative when putting things in these columns. For example, there are some opportunities with no information on whether housing is available, or whether a remote or hybrid set up would work. Unless the description specifically said there was no housing available or that remote work would not work, I left these columns as blank (though in the majority of cases this likely does mean remote is not OK). Please reach out to the program yourself if you are interested to confirm these details.

Wrong dates?

You will also notice that some deadlines and/or timelines are outdated (ex. Dates from 2025). It is possible that some of these programs are not running in 2026 and beyond, but these organizations were actively recruiting students for their programs this semester and may not have yet updated their website. Furthermore, we are leaving these opportunities up in case they become open again for applications in the future.

Want to share an opportunity you found?

Feel free to make a reply here and we will add it as soon as possible. The opportunity must be in the life sciences, though not neccessarily data science or genomics based.
