Naturalis biedt verschillende stages aan. Zo zijn er voor studenten op zowel bachelor- als masterniveau mogelijkheden om stage te lopen bij één van onze onderzoeksgroepen. Tijdens zo'n onderzoeksstage focus je je op één onderzoeksproject, en help je een onderzoeker met het beantwoorden van één of meerdere onderzoeksvragen. Sommige van deze onderzoeksprojecten maken deel uit van een groter project, terwijl andere op zichzelf staan. Daarnaast zijn er stagemogelijkheden op het gebied van wetenschapscommunicatie en marketing.
Alle beschikbare onderzoeksprojecten staan hieronder vermeld. Helemaal onderaan vind je meer informatie over stages wetenschapscommunicatie en marketing.
