Call for applications

Thank you for your interest in the REPU program!

 

We are looking for applicants who ideally will still be enrolled as university students after completing the internship. However, we encourage talented senior students in their 9th semester to also apply. In all cases, we expect at least B2-level English proficiency and prior strong extracurricular research experience. We seek students who demonstrate critical thinking, the ability to interpret and explain scientific data, motivation for professional growth, and clear communication of complex ideas. Candidates should also align with REPU’s values, show a commitment to giving back to the Peruvian scientific community, and possess the maturity, resilience, and initiative to thrive in a research environment with minimal supervision.

 

To be considered for the 2026 cohort, please complete and submit the application  form no later than June 22, 2025. As part of the application, you will be asked to upload your CV and other documents, which requires signing in with a Google account.

 

When assigning internships, we aim to make the best possible match between the mentees’ interests and our network of mentors. Some potential research topics that may be offered in this year’s cohort are listed below by academic branch:

  • REPUbio: biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology, bioinformatics

  • REPUcs: deep learning, neural networks, medical imaging

  • ecoREPU: paleobotany, plant and animal evolutionary genetics/genomics, limnology

  • REPUphys: particle physics, plasma physics, quantum information, quantum optics, molecular dynamics

  • REPUchem: azeotropic mixtures, colloidal systems, optical sensors

  • nanoREPU: films for power electronics, nanoscintillators, electron microscopy imaging, exoskeletons

 

Important:

  1. All parts of this application must be written in English. This includes written responses, uploaded documents, and any submitted videos.

  2. Before applying, please read the Terms and Conditions. If you have any questions or concerns during the process, feel free to reach out to us at repu@repuprogram.org

  3. Please, follow the instructions of each question (i.e., word limit). Not following these guidelines will result in a lower score on your application.

  4. Invitations to interviews will be sent in July. For the REPU CS branch, selected applicants will first be invited to a coding interview before proceeding to the interviews.
