Internship Program
A key element of the BRITE initiative is a paid internship program for MSc and PhD students. If you are interested in spending part of your degree in a non-University setting to improve or expand your training, consider applying for an internship.
Internships are expected to last from six weeks to three months of full-time equivalent work. Requests for interns are circulated in the spring, but applications may be submitted at any time.
If you are a graduate student of a BRC faculty, then you are considered a BRITE affiliate (regardless of funding source) and are eligible for the above opportunities supported by BRITE.
To find out if your supervisor is a BRC faculty member, see the BRC faculty listing.
Studying ornithology? Graduate students conducting research are eligible for a Werner and Hildegard Hesse Fellowship in Ornithology and a Hesse Research Award to work on the conservation, ecology, or evolution of wild birds.

Workshops
Workshops are an effective means of training in areas requiring new skills and concentrated attention. BRITE funds workshops on a variety of topics, including workshops focused on particular research areas, on particular research techniques, and/or on professional development. Students, post-docs, and/or faculty can propose and organize workshops on topics of interest to BRITE trainees. Applications are considered at any time of year.
Post-doctoral Fellows
The BRC provides financial support for post-doctoral fellows conducting original research on core problems in biodiversity. Post-docs typically interact with several lab groups, foster interactions within the Centre, and spearhead research collaborations. For more information, please see the post-doc website.
