A student does NOT have to be a biology (or science) major to be considered; any UW student who has completed BIOL 201, 202, and 203 can apply. Thanks! Kimberly Swayze, Academic Counselor, Biology Program ---------- Forwarded message ---------- The Biology Program of the University of Washington has a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute that allows us to hire about 12 undergraduates to work on research projects in faculty labs for 3 quarters, and we invite you to apply for one of these positions. The goal of this program is to give undergraduates a taste of what research is all about relatively early in their academic careers. Selected students are matched with participating faculty to help with on-going research projects; many go on to develop their own independent projects, working directly with the faculty mentor or with a post-doc, technical staff member, or graduate student under the direction of the faculty sponsor. The undergraduate commits 15 hours/week to work with the project and is paid $1250/quarter, and may, with the faculty sponsor's permission, enroll in up to 5 independent research credits/quarter (depending on the nature of the work undertaken). Individual faculty set the requirements and expectations necessary for each project; while most time will be spent in the lab, students may also be asked to read the scientific literature, write a paper relating to the project, or prepare a poster relating to the project. Students will share their experience with the University and wider community through 1-2 hours of participation in research symposia or outreach programs and will take a 1-credit seminar in the Spring, open only to Hughes students, in which each student presents his/her project to the group. The only general prerequisite is completion of the Biology 201/202/203 series (or equivalent). This program is directed primarily at juniors, since this is a critical time for considering career choices, but sophomores and seniors (who can complete the 3-quarter committment) may apply as well. Preference is given to students who have not previously had research experience. Only currently enrolled UW students may apply. We especially encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply, but the program is not limited to them. Applications are available in 318 Hitchcock and on the Web at: http://www.biology.washington.edu/biology/UGresearch.html The deadline for applying is Nov. 30, 1998. Jobs will start Winter Quarter and continue through Spring; the third quarter can be either Summer or Autumn, depending on student and faculty needs. These awards may not be combined with concurrent Mary Gates awards or other funding that directly supports the same laboratory work. (We have a separate summer program open to students from other 4-year institutions as well as UW students. The application deadline for this program is March 1. Contact Dr. Bette Nicotri, nicotri@u.washington.edu for more information; applications will be available in 318 HCK in the near future and are on the Web at the address shown above.)
