Summer Undergraduate Research Programme

[ABoyd]

In 2006, the Department of Microbiology at the National University of Irealnd, Galway will be organising the Infectious Disease UREKA Summer Undergraduate Research Programme for the second time. The Infectious Disease UREKA Programme offers undergraduate students the opportunity to experience laboratory research and to acquire a range of scientific skills. Students conduct an individual research project on an infectious disease topic with an active research group at NUI, Galway. They also attend a series of events to develop the skills needed for a research career. Irish and international students are encouraged to apply.

 

Please would you bring this programme to the attention of any students you know who are be interested in Microbiology and Infectious Disease research. Students should be in the second last year of their college course, and final year students are not eligible to apply. The programme will run from June 6th to August 11th 2006. Students receive a stipend of €300/week and travel costs for international students are available. Full details and an application form are available at http://www.nuigalway.ie/microbiology/ureka.
