Program Goals
The aim of the HHMI-MIT Fellowship in Chemical Biology is to provide interdisciplinary research opportunities for undergraduate students from around the country. Through this training program, we hope to lower the barrier between chemistry and biology and to promote understanding and collaboration across fields. During your summer research experience, we hope that you will learn techniques, both in research and in communicating results, that will be a foundation for your future pursuits. We hope also that you will find the research questions at the interface of chemistry and biology compelling and worth tackling.
Expectations
• You will work 40 hours per week (including lab work and attending seminars) and should establish a work schedule with your mentor that is agreeable to the both of you.
• There will be a meeting approximately every other week for all HHMI-MIT researchers.
• You will be paid weekly $10 per hour for up to 40 hours per week. There is no overtime for researchers paid by the hour.
• You each have $500 that may be spent on research supplies and are elligible to receive up to $500 reimbursement for travel expenses to and from MIT.
