Curated summer programs, year-long co-ops, and structured placements at Genentech, Roche, NIH, Sanger, Moderna, Illumina, and more — filterable by field and duration.
Try the featureInternships deserve their own search
The biggest mistake students make on a general job board: filtering for "biology" + "entry level" and getting drowned in full-time roles that won't sponsor a visa, won't accept a current student, and don't have a structured onboarding for someone who hasn't graduated yet.
Internships are a different product. They have:
- Fixed cohort start dates (June for summer programs, January for many co-ops)
- Application deadlines 6–12 months ahead — Genentech's summer internship closes in late January for a June start
- Dedicated recruiting teams separate from full-time hiring
- Stipends, not salaries (~$6,500–$9,500/month at top US biotechs; €1,200–€2,500 in EU/UK)
- Structured mentor pairing and final presentations — they're an interview for a full-time conversion offer
/internships curates the high-signal programs and lets you filter by field (wet lab, bioinformatics, clinical, regulatory, industry R&D), duration (summer, co-op, year-long), and location/remote.
