Plant Pathology
Internships
![]() |
We invite you to explore the field of plant pathology through our Summer Research Internship in Plant Pathology, or SRIPP.
Plant pathology, or the study of plant disease, encompasses disciplines such as molecular genetics, environmental sciences, agriculture, biology and more. Even students interested in the medical or veterinary fields find intriguing parallels in plant disease systems. Plus, we have outstanding, caring mentors and students that make SRIPP rewarding and fun.

You are welcome to contact faculty to inquire about their programs. Work experience and other opportunities often arise during the school year. |

Internships may involve laboratory and/or field based research, depending on the project. Interns can also participate in field trips, seminars and workshops, career and graduate study sessions, and various research forums on and off-campus.
At the end of the internship, students will give presentations on their research experiences.
Starting dates are flexible depending on the student and advisor schedules. Many SRIPP students begin a week or two after Ohio State Spring commencement (June 13, 2010).
Currently the stipend to $10/hr, 40 hrs/wk for ten weeks = $4000 (does not include housing, food or travel).
