The Conte Center
for Computational Neuropsychiatric Genomics is offering an REU (Research
Experiences for Undergraduates) program this summer. The Center seeks
qualified undergraduates for 2014 REU fellowships. Stipends are $4,000
for ten-week projects. They will be awarded on a competitive basis based
on academic excellence, motivation, scientific potential, compatibility of
personal interests, and long-term career goals aligned with research programs
of the Conte Center. Applicants with computational science backgrounds
are especially encouraged to apply. All participants must be U.S.
citizens (or permanent residents) and be enrolled in (but not yet graduated
from) an accredited undergraduate college degree program with a concentration
in a biological science field. Please post and/or share the attached
announcement and application.
If selected, students will be matched with a research mentor. During the program participants will be invited to lab meetings and seminars. In addition, they will have access to libraries, athletic facilities, and University-sponsored events. At the conclusion of the summer projects, students will produce a summary report and present their findings at an REU Symposium in the Gordon Center for Integrative Science at the University of Chicago.
The deadline for receipt of REU application materials (see attached pdf file) is February 10, 2014.
Send via mail or email all application materials to:
