Naturalis offers various internships. For example, there are opportunities for students at both bachelor's and master's level to do an internship at one of our research groups. During such a research internship you focus on one research project, and you help a researcher at exploring and answering one or more research questions. Some of these research projects are part of a larger project, while others stand on their own. In addition to research projects, occasionally there are also internship opportunities in the field of science communication and marketing and within the project ARISE.
The available internships/projects are listed below.
