Subject: Sens Research Foundation (SRF) Summer Scholars Program

Description:
The SRF Summer Scholars Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity
to conduct biomedical research to combat diseases of aging, such as cancer
and Parkinson’s disease. Under the guidance of a scientific mentor, each
Summer Scholar is responsible for his or her own research project in such
areas as genetic engineering and stem cell research. The Summer Scholars
Program emphasizes development of both laboratory and communication skills to
develop well-rounded future scientists, healthcare professionals, and policy
makers. Students participating in the program will hone their writing skills
via periodic reports, which are designed to emulate text scientists commonly
must produce. At the end of the summer, students will have the opportunity to
put all of their newly developed communication skills into practice at a
student symposium.

Paid positions are available at:
• Buck Institute for Research on Aging
• Harvard Stem Cell Institute
• Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute
• SRF Research Center
• The Scripps Research Institute
• University of Oxford
• Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine

The online application and a full description of each research project can be
found at www.sens.org/2017-summer-scholars. Applications will be accepted
until 12 pm PST February 6, 2017.
