See a Sanford Research Scientist on the Job
The Sanford Research Shadow program is designed to allow high school and college students (high school juniors 16 years of age and older) the opportunity to explore career options that exist within research.
You will spend time with research staff during part of their routine day in one of our biomedical research laboratories located in Sioux Falls, SD. After shadowing within our research environment, you should have an appreciation for some of the qualities required for a career in science and research.
This is not a training program. The goal is for you to experience the workplace setting as well as the duties performed by research staff in our biomedical research lab.
Research shadow opportunities are available in the following research centers:
- Center for Cancer Biology Research
- Center for Genetics and Rare Diseases Research
- Center for Pediatric Research
One letter of recommendation from a professor or teacher is required for participation. We will email a recommendation form to them when we receive your completed application.
After we review the application and recommendation, you will be notified of your status.
