Subject: Biophysical Society’s Summer Research Program

Description:
Are you an undergraduate who would like to get a feel for graduate school and
work in a lab this summer? Consider the Biophysical Society’s Summer
Research Program.

This 11-week program, now in its eighth year, introduces undergraduate
minority students, disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities* to
the field of biophysics. Hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, the program combines lab experience with lectures, seminars, and
team-building activities. More than 75 aspiring scientists have already
gained invaluable experience through the course.

All fees, housing, and travel costs required to participate are covered, and
participants receive a stipend to cover living expenses.

The priority deadline for applications is February 16. Additional details and
the application can be found on the summer course website
http://lists.biophysics.org:81/t/31640/9042870/421/6/. Please contact Ellen

behavioral research are eligible to apply. Nationally, these individuals
include, but are not limited to: African Americans, Hispanic Americans,
Native Americans/Alaska Natives who maintain tribal affiliation or community
attachment, Hawaiian Natives and natives of the US Pacific Islands.

The Biophysical Society Summer Course in Biophysics: Case Studies in the
Physics of Life is funded by The National Institute of General Medical
Sciences, National Institutes of Health. [2 T36GM075791]
