The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Diversity Recruitment through Education and Mentoring Program “DREAM” is a 10-week summer program designed to increase the number of women and racially underrepresented groups in medical physics by offering research opportunities, outreach and strategic mentorship geared towards recruiting a more robust and diverse group of skilled undergraduate students in the field of medical physics. DREAM students will be placed into summer research and mentorship groups that are consistent with their research and career interests. DREAM fellows are selected on a competitive basis. Up to six $6,000 stipends will be awarded to selected DREAM fellows. The stipend is based upon an expectation of 40-hour per week effort for 10 weeks.

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Summer Undergraduate Fellowship Program is a 10-week summer program designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate university students to gain experience in medical physics by performing research in a medical physics laboratory or assisting with clinical service at a clinical facility. The term of the fellowship is May – September. The mentor and Fellow will determine the exact 10- week schedule. Each summer fellow receives a $6,000 stipend from AAPM. The stipend is based upon an expectation of 40-hour per week effort for 10 weeks.

Sensory Ecology is the study of how animals acquire and respond to information in their environment. This REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) will emphasize interdisciplinary training with a structured program of multi-level mentoring, introducing undergraduates to team-oriented research built around integration of sensory biology (smell, hearing, vision, etc.), behavior, ecology and evolution.

UCLA will be hosting its 9th annual Bruins-in-Genomics Summer (BIG SUMMER) undergraduate research program in 2023.  It’s a vibrant, highly funded program – hundreds of alumni have gone on to graduate programs and other careers.  If you enjoy problem-solving and learning new skills in biological data analysis and modeling take a look at the BIG Summer 2023.

Interested in interning with the RCSB PDB? We partner with the Research Intensive Summer Experience (RISE) at Rutgers, a nationally acclaimed summer research program for outstanding undergraduates from diverse backgrounds. Scholars participate in 10 weeks of cutting-edge research in the biological, physical, and social/ behavioral sciences, math, engineering, and exciting interdisciplinary areas under the guidance of carefully matched faculty mentors. A comprehensive professional development component complements the research.
Applications will open in November 2022 at https://www.rise.rutgers.edu/ Questions should be sent to Christine.zardecki@rcsb.org.
