Biology Opportunities

The Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center (Frankel CVC) is pleased to offer a 10-week summer undergraduate research fellowship program to engage undergraduate students in basic, cardiovascular research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Fellows are matched to a laboratory led by a Frankel CVC faculty member conducting research in areas such as atherosclerosis, genetic cardiomyopathies, blood clotting disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular biology, and heart failure. In addition to working as a laboratory assistant within their mentor’s lab, fellows will attend weekly scientific seminars, participate in organized social events, and close the summer with an oral presentation of their research findings to faculty, staff, and peers at the End of Summer Symposium. The fellowship stipend is paid via bi-weekly paychecks (direct deposit available) at a rate of $15 per hour (pre-tax) for ten weeks of full-time work (40 hours per week). Apply here.

Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences, this Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program offers undergraduates in STEM an opportunity to conduct guided research internships in marine science. Under the guidance of a faculty mentor, interns work in a research-intensive atmosphere on a topic in chemical, physical, or biological oceanography or marine biology/geology/ biogeochemistry. The program includes weekly research seminars, professional development presentations, and field trips to nearby coastal marine systems. Interns will also present written and oral reports at the close of the program. For more information, contact Dr. Joanna York at jyork@udel.edu or 1-302-831-7040. The Summer 2026 program will run for 10 weeks from Monday, June 8 to Friday, August 14 (pending funding). Student support includes a $7,950 stipend, free housing, and travel assistance for the 10-week program.

The Classical Association of the Middle West and South invites applications for the Dr. Anthony Fauci Award in STEM and Classics. This $500 annual award recognizes an undergraduate student who demonstrates outstanding work in both Classics and a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)/pre-med/pre-health/social science discipline. The Committee, at its discretion, may also confer prizes for first runner up ($200) and second runner up ($100).

The Cardiovascular Sciences Summer Research Program is an opportunity for undergraduate students to gain research experience during the summer months. The program includes research training in the cardiovascular sciences with mentoring by medical school faculty. The Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences (EICS) is sponsored by Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (R25HL092618). Undergraduate students with an interest in a research-oriented career in the biomedical sciences are encouraged to apply. Program sponsorship includes compensation, housing in one of the Wake Forest University residence halls, and shuttle service while on campus. Participation requires a full-time, 40-hour work week (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) commitment for the two months of the summer program.
