Symbiotic Understanding of Natural Sunscreens in Sponges (SUN-Sponge) (Internship)
This Symbiotic Understanding of Natural Sunscreens in Sponges (SUN-Sponge) (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) investigates how sponges and their microbial symbionts produce natural sunscreen compounds to cope with extreme solar radiation.

Investigating the Carrier Dynamics of Emerging Wide Band Gap Semiconductor for Novel Optoelectronic Applications (Internship)
The Investigating the Carrier Dynamics of Emerging Wide Band Gap Semiconductor for Novel Optoelectronic Applications (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) focuses on studying the fundamental physics of the carrier dynamics of wide-bandgap semiconductors such as III-nitrides and oxides.

Safeguarding our Daily Bread from Wheat Rust Diseases (Internship)
The Safeguarding our Daily Bread from Wheat Rust Diseases (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers the mechanism of non-cannonical resistance genes and supports their efforts to engineer wheat plants with improved disease resistance.

Deep-sea sediments off the Al Wajh Carbonate Platform, Red Sea - Sample preparation and analysis (Internship)
This Deep-sea sediments off the Al Wajh Carbonate Platform, Red Sea - Sample preparation and analysis (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers the Red Sea records climatic and associated sea-level and hydrological changes throughout the Quaternary.

Geomorphological characterization of the Red Sea mesophotic reef environments using high-resolution multibeam data (Internship)
This Geomorphological characterization of the Red Sea mesophotic reef environments using high-resolution multibeam data (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) aims is to derive and classify geomorphic features from high-resolution seafloor data and to explore how these features vary with depth in the shallow and mesophotic zones.

Pelagic Subsidies to Coral Reef Food Webs (Internship)
This Pelagic Subsidies to Coral Reef Food Webs (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) seeks a VSRP student to contribute to our monthly oceanographic sampling campaigns and process samples in the lab for biogeochemical analyses.

Spatio Temporal Analysis of Expression of Genes Controlling Assymetric Stem Cell Division and Tissue Patterning in Plants
This Spatio Temporal Analysis of Expression of Genes Controlling Assymetric Stem Cell Division and Tissue Patterning in Plants (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) aims to dissect how BIRD proteins regulate leave tissue patterning and map their localization in different mutant backgrounds.

Developing Molecular Method FISH to Visualize RNA-condensates in Desert Plants (Internship)
The Developing Molecular Method FISH to Visualize RNA-condensates in Desert Plants (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers topics such as how to culture different plant species in laboratory conditions and optimize technique for RNA-condensate visualization to be able to understand cellular stress response in those different desert plants.

Isotope Biogeochemistry on Coral Reefs (Internship)
This Isotope Biogeochemistry on Coral Reefs (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will focus on the collection and analysis of samples to characterize the temporal and spatial gradients in stable isotope baselines around the reefs of KAUST.

Red Sea Coral Integrated Systematics to Support Reef Restoration (Internship)
The Red Sea Coral Integrated Systematics to Support Reef Restoration (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) applies an integrated systematics approach to assess species boundaries and distribution of Echinopora corals in the Red Sea.

Coral Microbiology and probiotics (Internship)
This Coral Microbiology and probiotics (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has proposed and proven the concept that BMCs can mitigate the impacts caused by thermal stress and pathogens (Rosado et al., 2019).
