The Janelia Undergraduate Scholars program is a 10-week summer program aimed at well-prepared, independent, and committed students with significant research experience. We accept undergraduates and masters students from around the world who have not committed to a PhD program. Participants must be actively enrolled as a student during the period of the Janelia Undergraduate Scholars program.

Janelia undergraduate scholars are dedicated future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who are interested in exploring:

  • Behavioral & Systems Neuroscience
  • Biosensor Development
  • Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience
  • Evolution & Genetics
  • Instrumentation & Computational Tool Development
  • Neuronal Cell Biology
  • Optical Physics & Imaging
  • Structural Biology & Biochemistry
  • Theory & Computational Neuroscience

This program provides an outstanding research experience, an opportunity to network with colleagues at all career levels, and a chance to form lifelong scientific collaborations and friendships. Stay on our beautiful campus and explore Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and the surrounding area.

There will not be a 2024 Janelia Undergraduate Scholars Program.

If you have any questions about the program, the application or the application process, please email Erik Snapp at snappe@janelia.hhmi.org
