Instruct Internships

The Instruct Internship Programme funds research visits of 3-6 months duration to Instruct Centres in Europe. The aim is to facilitate valuable collaborations with Instruct research groups applying techniques that are not available in the applicant’s laboratory. Applications should specifically focus on the benefit to the applicant’s research.

Connecting Researchers

Internships are open to PhD Students and postdoctoral fellows from across Instruct's members and organisations, connecting early-career researchers with advanced structural biology techniques and expertise from across Europe. Since 2013, we have provided a platform for new scientists to interact and learn from the very best structural biology researchers from our centres.
