Research Internships Concentration

Imagine being the first to discover something about a gene, a cell, an organism or an ecosystem! The research internship concentration allows you to make discovery through biological research an integral part of your university program. In your first year, after an orientation to the tools necessary to conduct research in one of the many biological sub-fields, you will be participating in research projects under the direction of faculty. Each subsequent year will build on these skills with an emphasis on actually designing, carrying out and disseminating the results from research projects under the guidance of faculty. Through this program, you will enhance key skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, observation, diagnosis, organization and presentation that are important not only to research but to any career path. If you have an 80% in Biology 30 and a 75% overall average, and a desire to be a part of the discovery process, complete the following application by March 15th, 2017. All eligible applications will be considered but acceptance into the cohort is limited. Additional information may be requested.

Please write a few sentences explaining why you are interested in this research opportunity.
