Description
The Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia invites undergraduates interested in genetics and genomics research to apply for positions in their summer research program. Students will be matched with a faculty mentor in the Department of Genetics and be integrated into a lab as a member of a research team. Over the nine weeks of the program, students participate in the complete research cycle from project design to analysis and presentation. Participants also receive training in bioethics and mentoring in professional development. At the conclusion of the program, students present their work at a poster session.
Research in the areas of biotechnology, developmental genetics, ecological genetics, eukaryotic molecular genetics, evolutionary genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular evolution, and prokaryotic molecular genetics is available within the Department of Genetics.
Students selected for the program will receive a stipend and food allowance. The program will also provide on-campus housing and cover travel up to a certain amount.
