CRAF Research Studentship
May-August | 6-12 weeks

Insurance Requirement: Medical malpractice insurance is strictly required for ALL summer students. The CRAF is not responsible for the cost of obtaining such coverage.

The CRAF is committed to ensuring that the recruitment and selection of all employees is fair, open and transparent; will comply with all relevant legislative requirements and will be free from any bias and/or discrimination.
