Info Session: CU Boulder Interdisciplinary Quantitative (IQ) Biology Graduate Certificate

by at

Join CU Boulder for an online information session about the Interdisciplinary Quantitative (IQ) Biology Graduate Certificate through CU Boulder’s BioFrontiers Institute. The certificate is designed for all students who are interested in working together to solve biological problems without disciplinary boundaries.

The certificate is earned in concordance with a PhD from one of CU Boulder’s academic departments. Students learn Interdisciplinary Quantitative skills, while also gaining in-depth knowledge of their field through their degree-granting PhD program with one of the university’s partner academic departments.

Through IQ Biology, students learn the essential competencies demonstrated by knowledgeable, and well-rounded researchers who collaborate effectively across disciplines. These competencies are attained through cross-departmental lab rotations, courses, interdisciplinary projects, outreach activities, and science engagement.

If you’d like to attend, register for the information session, which will take place on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 from 12 PM to 1 PM EDT.

During this session, Dr. Tom Cech (Director of IQ Biology) and Dr. Kristin Powell (Director of Interdisciplinary Education at BioFrontiers) will discuss the details of the program, resources/opportunities, and how to apply to the program. There will be a Q&A at the end of the session.

If you have questions, you can email iqbiology@colorado.edu.

Summer REU: Extreme Ultraviolet Engineering Research Center

by at

Colorado State University and UC Berkeley are cohosting a summer Research Experience for Undergrads (REU) in Summer 2023. This REU focuses on extreme ultraviolet high power lasers and their applications, including materials science, chemistry, physics, and engineering. REU programs are sponsored by the NSF and provide an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to get hands-on experience working in active research labs- a great asset to list on your resume or graduate school application.

Students accepted to this 10-week REU program will conduct research at either the Extreme Ultraviolet Engineering Research Center (EUV ERC) at Colorado State University or at University of California, Berkeley.

Each student will be assigned a mentor to guide them throughout the project. This EUV REU program will provide students with a unique opportunity designed for them to better understand EUV science and technology and to become involved in groundbreaking EUV-related research that is technically and scientifically challenging, and highly interdisciplinary.

Participants will be provided with a $5000 stipend, housing, and some meals.

More specific details can be found in this project descriptions document.

The application deadline is February 22, 2023.

A great opportunity has just opened up for undergraduate students considering graduate school. Mark Ferris, an Ohio State alumni, will be giving a short recruiting talk and answering questions about his program and graduate school life.

Mark is currently in a PhD program for chemical engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, located in Golden, Colorado. He is very excited to return to his alma mater to talk to undergraduate students about all this program has to offer in the fields of chemical and biological engineering!

The talk will be this Friday, November 18th, at 1:30 PM in CBEC 110/120. FREE pizza will be provided!

Please contact Mark Ferris at mferris@mines.edu with any additional questions.
