The objective of this SSRP is to expose future PhD and clinician scientists to investigate careers in Nephrology, particularly in areas of research germane to PKD. The MTPC has established a program to allow up to six students to study in a PKD laboratory or be mentored in PKD-related clinical research at Mayo Clinic. Applicants should be undergraduates that will be seniors or juniors after next summer and are undertaking a science based major.
The program will allow students to be involved in hands-on research associated with PKD and after completing the program will present a poster describing their work at the Mayo Summer Student Research Symposium.
There are up to six positions available, with each appointee being awarded $5,000 as a stipend. The appointments are for ten weeks, May 29—August 3, 2012
Apply through the Mayo Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program. www.mayo.edu/mgs/surf.html. Online application is under Admissions. Deadline is February 1, 2012
When filling out your SURF application it is important to designate Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) or Biomedical Engineering (BME) as your first choice of track and the first words of your personal statement should be “2012 SUMMER STUDENT FOR POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE RESEARCH PROGRAM.”
