Students in Bachelor and Master program or recently graduated interested in joining the OIST PhD program may undertake educational activity at OIST as a Research Intern. A research internship at OIST provides students with experience working in a research environment under the direction of OIST faculty.

Research Intern places are awarded twice a year on a competitive basis. Selection is highly competitive, and depends on suitability of the intended research, academic background, available funding and space. Not all available positions will necessarily be filled.

OIST strives to create and maintain an inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment that does not discriminate against gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, medical condition, race, ethnicity, ancestry, culture, national origin, religion, or marital status. Applications from women and other underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged.

The OIST Research Internship Program is open to exceptional students who are in the final two years of their undergraduate or master's studies at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and vocational schools in Japan or abroad, or have graduated from such institutions. It is mandatory for currently enrolled students to obtain approval from their home institution. Additionally, applicants' academic background should be relevant to the host unit(s) they wish to join at OIST.

1) Statement of purpose

The Statement of Interest form is provided on the online application form.

Please write a 400 words (2500 characters) statement including the following points:

How does OIST and your desired research unit(s) fit with your current expertise and skill set? If you are interested in multiple research units, please explain your interest and fit for each briefly within one single statement.

How does a research internship at OIST fit into your overall career plans/aspirations?

Following the application period, applications will be screened and selection will be completed.
The result announcement will be posted on your application platform 3 months after the application deadline. You will receive a notification when the result is posted.
