The University of California, Berkeley has an opportunity for students to work in one of 22 different faculty laboratories during the summer of 2006. The ten-week program includes a $3500 stipend, paid on-campus housing and meals, and a reimbursement for travel costs.
Application deadline is March 15! For more information or to apply on-line, go to http://mcb.berkeley.edu/nsfreu/.
The following information comes from the program web site:
This program is designed to expose participating students to core concepts of Cell, Developmental and Evolutionary Biology. The twenty-two participating faculty provide a broad range of research options in these areas and share a strong commitment to working with undergraduates and promoting diversity in the biosciences community at Berkeley.
Under the direct guidance of a UCB faculty mentor, students will gain first-hand research experience and training in state-of-the-art research facilities, working on individual projects. During the first week of the program, group tutorials will survey the interconnecting fields of cell, developmental and evolutionary biology and bioinformatics. Through the remainder of the program, weekly seminars will further expose participants to the wealth of ongoing research in these areas. Professional development workshops and interactions with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and UCB undergrads will familiarize participants with the graduate school experience, including the application process, what to expect in graduate school and the career possibilities it opens up. Social events and excursions will permit students to explore the attractions of the Bay Area. During the last week, a poster session will permit the participants to share their accomplishments.
