Internships

Internships are considered an integral part of a student’s educational experience and should be viewed as a path forward in a student’s career development. As such, approved internships will carry academic credit and will be listed with an OGE course number. Ordinarily, students will be limited to one internship during their PhD career at Harvard. The internship should be something that is relevant to career development. It should be discussed with the PI and DAC committee (or program advisor, where applicable) prior to approval. Student should be expected to explain how the internship supports their dissertations or career development and how they may benefit from the experience. Some students may not be eligible for internships due to program requirements, academic standing, or advisor input. Please note that students interested in applying for an internship must follow the OGE guidelines and the program requirements listed below. 

• Have joined a lab and have a dissertation advisor by the time of application.
• Should have passed the Qualifying Exam
• Should have taken their first DAC meeting
