Approximately 15 slots are available for the 2020 summer at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Pennsylvania.
Our center has NSF funding to support a cohort of students to conduct mentored independent research projects in the field of mechanobiology during a ten-week immersive program. In addition to their laboratory research, participants will attend field trips, enjoy learning lunches that address research and professional development topics, sit in on center-wide working group meetings, and present their progress at the annual CEMB retreat in Philadelphia. Participants will be provided with a competitive stipend, housing for the summer, relocation funds, and the opportunity to request additional travel funds to present their research at a national scientific meeting.
More information about the CEMB REU and how to apply by February 1st, 2020 can be found on the website (https://sites.wustl.edu/wucembreu/).
