We welcome interns from around the world, and have had many over the years. Contact us to discuss your areas of interest.

Longer-term internships are preferred, but we will take interns for periods as short as three months. We are particularly interested in applicants for the following projects, because these will benefit other research programmes that we currently have underway:
