ChBE Summer Research Opportunity

TO:  Undergraduate ChBE Students

Prof. Martha Grover, Prof. Lakeshia Taite  and I are in need of 3-4 undergraduate researchers to work part time during SUMMER TERM, 2012 on two very interesting projects.  One involves understanding the chemical origins of life, and specifically, the role played by polymeric biomolecules.  The other involves developing polymer structures for drug delivery.

Students accepted for this project should be Juniors or Seniors in ChBE with a minimum GPA of 3.5.  Students will be expected to spend approximately 10 hours per week on the project, and will be paid at the rate of $10 per hour.  Continuation into the Fall is possible, as is beginning work during the Spring. Students will be expected to present their work at on-campus and off-campus colloquia.  There is every expectation that the students will be contributing authors on peer-reviewed publications.

Students wishing to work for technical elective credit rather than money are also welcome to apply.

Anyone wishing to be considered should email me by 5 PM FRIDAY, MARCH 16.  Please include a resume.
