The Astrobiology Society of Britain is able to provide some limited financial support for undergraduate or MSc/MSci research internships in the UK that fall within the field of astrobiology. Internships can offer undergraduate or MSc/MSci students valuable research experience while also providing a window into potential career paths.
Internships must be hosted by a UK institution. Some examples of UK institutions that have carried out astrobiology research in the past and present are listed here and many have hosted ASB interns before. Please note, this list is not exhaustive; any institution or researcher involved in astrobiology and related fields is eligible.
Funding is only available for those studying at UK institutions, and who will be hosted at a UK institution. This grant is considered as an additional contribution to support a student-led summer project. Applicants will need to provide a broad justification for resources requested. Additionally, successful applicants (or their advisor) will be expected to complete a short report at the end of their project detailing the outcomes of the project for inclusion in the ASB newsletter, and on our website. Internship reports from previous years can be found here. Proposals will be reviewed by the ASB committee and successful applicants will be informed within ~3 weeks of the closing date listed above.
