Internships

The CERC is happy to welcome undergraduate/graduate trainees for short-term research internships. The CERC PIs are recruiting interns through spontaneous applications and various programs such as:

• MBRA (McGill Biomedical Research Accelerator) summer program

• C3G (Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics)

• IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Students Associations)

• Etc.

Stipends

Internships stipends will be paid following the recommendations of each of the above programs. When students apply outside of a specific program, they will be compensated with the CERC stipend amount, determined each year by the CERC Leadership Team. During the Academic Year 2024-2025, the hourly rate is equivalent to 11.92$ and students can be requested to work a maximum of 35h a week (depending on their curriculum availabilities).

Please note that when students are joining the CERC team through a course such as HGEN 396, the student receives credits but not financial compensation.

Work Location

On-site (exceptions possible) at the McGill Genome Centre, 740 Docteur Penfield, Montréal, Québec H3A 1G0. Frequent on-site attendance may be required by the supervisor.

Eligibility

• An eligible candidate must be an undergraduate or graduate student, returning to their current registered faculty at the end of the traineeship.

• An eligible candidate must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a valid Canadian study permit.

• International students’ applications will be considered only through specific internships/fellowships programs such as IFMSA for example (not through spontaneous applications).
