Biology Opportunities

The Summer Lab Science Program at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Rochester, Minnesota, offers students the opportunity to gain experience in the clinical laboratory environment by working alongside Mayo Clinic laboratory employees. Apply by February 28th on the Tunnel.

Interested in field-based summer courses or an REU this summer? Apply to study or intern at Michigan State University’s Kellogg Biological Station!

REU applications due March 1st, 2019.

Nebraska Summer Biology and Chemistry Research DEADLINE MARCH 1. 10-week residential summer research with competitive stipends, room and board, travel/transport. graduate school preparation workshops. social and networking activities, and more.

Due to the Federal Government Shutdown, we have extended the REU application deadline to February 15th! The MDI Biological Laboratory’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program aims to engage students in scientific explorations in the Laboratory’s focus area, comparative regenerative biology, while providing them with opportunities to build skills important to successful careers in the biological sciences. For 10 weeks, each REU student will conduct independent research under the mentorship of a research scientist while having access to state-of-the-art research laboratories and core facilities and support staff.

Aquatic Chemical Ecology (ACE) at Georgia Tech is a summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program. ACE at Georgia Tech gives you the opportunity to perform exciting research with our faculty in the schools of Biological Sciences, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. You’ll participate in research with one or more of our faculty, learn about careers in science and engineering, and see how scientists blend knowledge and skills from physics, chemistry and biology to investigate some of the most challenging problems in environmental sciences. We encourage applications from undergraduate students who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S., especially attending universities other than Georgia Tech. The following three areas comprise the research activities covered by faculty in the Aquatic Chemical Ecology program: 

• Area 1. Biological and geochemical transformations of chemicals in aquatic ecosystems.
• Area 2. Sensory biology and ecology of aquatic chemical communication.
• Area 3. Ecological roles and consequences of chemicals in aquatic environments.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), one of Minnesota’s largest state agencies, offers a broad range of paid internships for college students. Internships are available at locations across the state.
