Description
The Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) is sponsoring a research experience for undergraduates this summer. The Research Internship in Sustainable Bioenergy (RISE) is providing bioenergy research opportunities for undergraduates from groups currently underrepresented in STEM.
Students will be paired with a CABBI mentor, conduct research, attend career development seminars, learn about the graduate school application practice, and practice STEM communication by presenting research at a summer symposium. There is a mix of virtual and on-campus projects and the workshops will be held virtually.
The application deadline is April 23; the program will run 10 weeks (June 1-Aug. 6, 2021). Students interested in gaining experience in plant biology, agronomy, synthetic biology, genetics, environmental sciences, chemical engineering, and civil engineering are welcome to apply for this program, which includes a $4,800 stipend and $2000 housing allowance!
