Description:
SENS Research Foundation is proud to offer our new offerings for graduate students - for student who are interested in advancing their careers, getting experience outside of academia, contributing to life-changing and life extending research, and reimagining the realities of aging, we offer a range of funded programs appropriate for every motivation and for every stop on your graduate education journey:

The SRF Graduate Internship Program offers graduate students currently enrolled elsewhere the chance to strengthen research and communication skills, while experiencing an alternative research environment in industry.

During these programs, participants will have the opportunity to train technically and intellectually alongside one of our world-class intramural scientific mentors and will attend regular programming that is focused on scientific communication skills. Our diverse set of academic programs gives graduate students a chance to interact with other students of all levels, which encourages every level of communication and collaboration.

Support a New Generation of Scientists- Academia or Industry? Why Pick?

One of the most influential moments during a graduate student's development is the moment when they decide whether to pursue a career in academia or industry; and they make this decision with only half the information they need. Most graduate students have no research experience outside of academia. To address this need, the SRF Graduate Programs are designed to give students a look into the world of research in a non-academic setting, while intellectually contributing to our goal of ending aging.

Programming Highlights

SRF Education sets itself apart from many other training programs with its focus on the development of scientific communication skills in addition to enhancing laboratory and critical thinking skills. Over the course of its educational programs, participants are guided through practical assignments that simulate documents and presentations scientists are often asked to produce, such as proposals, literature reviews, and abstracts. The communication training culminates in a formal presentation at a symposium where participants present the results of their work to their peers and mentors. While all programs utilize the same syllabus, assignments and expectations are scaled to reflect the student's education level. Graduate students are expected to be leaders and to participate in programming and leading more junior students. Our students are trained to be leaders in their own right - leaders who prioritize ending the diseases of aging.
