The Advanced Bioimaging Unit (Joint Unit Institut Pasteur de Montevideo-Hospital de Clínicas/UdelaR) is calling for national and regional applicants for short internships (up to 6 internships in 2023) in the framework of the project «Expanding access to advanced bioimaging technology in Latin America» supported by Chan-Zuckerberg Initative.
Training accomplished
We target researchers from Latin American scientific institutions, regardless of their level of training.
Experience
Microscopy experience is not required, however, the experimental relevance proposed in the internship project will be assessed. You will need to demonstrate that you have a research hypothesis and do not have the expertise or equipment to be able to carry it out.
Responsibilities
The selected person will have the possibility to visit the Advanced Bioimaging Unit and perform experiments using the available equipment. It is essential that the project is part of a project of the home laboratory. The internship aims to provide a proof of concept that will allow the home researcher to apply for local funds to return to UBA for an internship of up to one year. The UBA will support this proposal and collaborate with the development of the research plan.
Duration
The duration of the internship will be 5 to 10 days. Period June-October 2023.
Travel and accommodation will be covered by the «Pilot Bioimaging Research Experience» programme in the CZI project «Expanding access to advanced bioimaging technology in Latin America».
