If you are interested in a possible research career in the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, molecular genetics, population genetics, genomics, developmental biology, biophysics, or biomedical applications -

If you are a rising junior (preferred but not required) with a good academic record, especially in biology and chemistry, who is considering continuing your education in a graduate program -

We have five positions every summer for a ten -week lab experience in any of the ca.100 laboratories associated with the Graduate Field of Biochemistry, Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Development or Biophysics.

We are particularly interested in applicants who will bring increased diversity to our laboratories.

Applications forms will be available online from this webpage in January, 2014, and will have a place to indicate a preference for a particular lab (see the websites for BMCB, GGD, or Biophysics), or more generally for the areas of research in which you are most interested.

Successful applicants will receive a stipend of $3500 for the summer, and housing and meals will be covered. For summer 2014, the MBG REU program again will enjoy the benefits of integration with the LSAMP program in engineering, for example including housing and activities outside of the lab.
