TIGP International Internship Program

Preface

Academia Sinica lunches the TIGP International Internship Program (TIGP-IIP) which is designated to provide visiting students with an opportunity to become familiar with the research environment and graduate programs of Academia Sinica. International applicants with diverse science background are encouraged to obtain hands-on research experience under the supervision of TIGP’s well-established researchers. Hopefully, the experience would motivate interested students to consider careers in science-related disciplines and choose TIGP for their Ph.D. studies.

Outline of the International Internship Program

Program Duration: This program typically takes place during July and August. However the dates can be changed by the host PI upon request. Eligibility: The TIGP-IIP invites application from overseas candidates of the following status: Undergraduate students who will have been conferred a B.S. degree by August 2013.
