]]>The 2015 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics at The Johns Hopkins University in the Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology Engineering Research Center (CISST ERC) / Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) is an intensive ten-week program of laboratory research and instruction. In the program, each REU student receives hands-on laboratory research experience under guidance from faculty and graduate student mentors. The students will also receive classes on ethics in research and technical communication. A stipend of $5000 and housing will be provided by the program for the 10-week period.
The application can be accessed using this link:-http://lcsr.jhu.edu/reu/
The deadline to submit applications is March 2, 2015.
**I participated in this program a number of years ago and it was **great**! Nowhere else do you get to play with a millions-of-dollars surgical robot (the Da Vinci - look it up, it's awesome) as a field trip. Or do laparoscopic surgery on a live pig (don't worry, if you're squeamish you don't have to do it. I loved it.)
If you have more questions feel free to contact me at elianan1@umbc.edu !

]]>The Discovery Chemistry department at Genentech is looking for undergraduate interns for summer 2015.
Description
The program is a 12 week paid summer internship. Interns work with Scientists and Research Associates in the department on individual projects focused on synthetic organic chemistry.
Successful projects are often published in peer-reviewed journals. There
are also programs to introduce interns to the various aspects of drug discovery
that go on at Genentech.
Requirements?
Typical interns arrive having just completed their 3rd or 4th year of a Chemistry BS (although we do accept applications from students completing their 2nd year). While previous research experience in organic chemistry is not required it is certainly preferred.
Interested?
E-mail UMBC alumnus Dr. Steve McKerrall with a CV and a brief research summary or by using the online application provided by clicking "visit website" below.
Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis and there is no deadline until all the positions have been filled
Have a topic you wish to research but have no idea where to start?
Want to join a faculty mentor on an existing project?
Students in ANY major can learn how to get started in mentored independent work NOW. Learn how YOU can add to the knowledge in your field. Get personal attention and have your questions answered.
Come to Lecture Hall 1 this Wednesday, February 18th from 12:00 p.m. - 12:50 p.m.
