The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics (BMB) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is accepting applications for its Summer Undergraduate Research Group Experience (SURGE) program. This is an 8-week research program (May 29 through July 27, 2025) focused in the areas of Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics.
Participants will engage in active research at the cutting edge of molecular biochemistry and biophysics, delving into areas such as single-molecule spectroscopy, molecular simulations, and mitochondrial biochemistry. Alongside research, students will attend workshops covering a range of scientific topics, including experimental design, how to read papers, scientific communication, and guidance on graduate school applications.
Round-trip travel to Saint Louis, local housing and transportation, and a monthly stipend of $6000 will be provided over the 8-week program.
No prior research experience is required. Undergraduate Sophomore- and Junior-level students looking towards graduate school with less than 1-year of research experience are especially encouraged to apply. WashU strongly encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences. International students with a current and valid F1-visa are also welcome to apply.
Applications are due by Friday, January 31st, 2025 with an admissions notification provided by February 28th, 2025.
