The OIST Graduate School offers opportunities for education and research in STEM fields through the Research Intern program. The internship duration typically ranges from 2 to 6 months, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in a specific laboratory or learn particular techniques. Under the guidance of a Professor, interns contribute to OIST's research activities.

Internships are available throughout the year, with two application periods.

Successful applicants receive various forms of support from OIST, including an internship allowance of JPY 2,400 per working day (excluding weekends), a commuting allowance in the form of an OIST Shuttle Bus Pass, travel expenses for a round-trip air ticket, furnished accommodation either on or off campus, and assistance with visa acquisition, insurance procedures, and local registration. It's important to note that these support services are provided solely for the student and do not extend to dependents or family members.
