PUI internship April/June 2026
Research and Teaching Internship at a Primarily Undergraduate Institution
The Laurita Lab at Bates College seeks applicants for two (2) graduate (PhD) student internships offering an opportunity to gain exposure to teaching and conducting research at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI). Interns in this program will
● help develop and teach a 3.5 week course in the general area of inorganic chemistry at Bates College,
● mentor undergraduate student researchers, and
● conduct research in the area of solid state chemistry in consultation with Dr. Geneva Laurita in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Internships will be approximately 9 weeks from mid-April to mid-June, 2026 and will occur at Bates College in Lewiston, ME during the 3.5-week short-term (May) semester and the following summer month. Bates is a primarily undergraduate residential liberal arts college with approximately 1800 students. As at similar institutions, Bates faculty engage in research programs that often heavily involve undergraduate students in addition to their teaching responsibilities. As such, this internship is an ideal opportunity for graduate students considering a combined teaching/research career at a PUI and who are excited about making a difference in the lives of undergraduate students.
Travel to and from Bates and on-campus housing for the internship period will be provided. Families and pets can be accommodated through Bates housing (furnished 1 bedroom apartment) with an additional pet deposit from the applicant. Funds are available to support graduate student stipend and tuition and fees during the internship period via interpersonnel agreements with students’ home institutions.
Eligibility: Applicants must be a Ph. D. candidate at the time of application and must be enrolled in a graduate institution. For this program, priority consideration will be given to graduate students who are within two years of completing their Ph.D. Bates College requires all interns to complete a background check prior to the start of the internship.
How to Apply: Interested students should submit the following information and materials at the provided link (click here for form):
● Biographical and educational information (e.g.,CV). Please include an email address and phone number where you can be reached in January.
● PUI teaching/mentoring statement (2 page maximum): Please address your interest in pursuing a career at a research-active PUI and any experience and/or interest you have in mentoring undergraduate students in the classroom and in a research setting.
