The Departments of Biology and Chemistry invite all interested students to a joint open house on Monday, February 25, from 7-8:30pm in the 7th Floor Havemeyer Lounge.

All students interested in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, chemical physics, and biophysics are encouraged to attend. Both majors and prospective majors, as well as other interested students, are welcome.

This is the place to get your questions answered:

• Which classes should I take?
• How do I arrange to do research?
• Can AP credit fulfill a requirement?

You ask it, and we'll answer it.

Representatives from Biology and Chemistry will talk about their respective departments and answer questions.

Pizza and drinks will be served!!!

APS/IBM Research Internship for Undergraduate Women

Read more!

For Undergraduate Sophomore & Junior females (majoring in chemistry, physics, materials science or engineering, computer science or engineering, chemical, electrical, mechanical engineering):


Research Internship

The American Physical Society and IBM co-sponsor a research internship program for undergraduate women. The goal is to encourage women students to pursue graduate studies in science and engineering.

Award

The internships are salaried positions typically 10 weeks long at one of three IBM research locations (San Jose, CA, Austin, TX, or Yorktown Heights, NY), and include in addition a $2,500 grant, plus the opportunity to work with an IBM mentor. The Watson lab has a full range of research, as does the Almaden lab, and the Austin lab focuses on software and systems. Research areas of the internship are individually chosen so as to optimize the match between the skills and interests of the student, and the ongoing research programs of the laboratory.


The starting and ending dates are chosen so as not to conflict with the student's school schedule. Assistance in finding and renting housing will be provided. Applications for summer 2008 will be due February 1, 2008, and notification of results will begin in early April.


Eligibility

-- Must be female with sophomore or junior standing at a US college or university at the time of application
-- Must be majoring in chemistry, physics, materials science or engineering, computer science or engineering, chemical, electrical, mechanical engineering
-- Must have a minimum 3.0 GPA
-- No citizenship restriction
