Duke iGEM Fellows 2006

All pre-graduate level students wishing to join the Duke iGEM Team must first apply and be accepted into the Duke iGEM Fellows Program. This program will require a commitment to brainstorming and preliminary research this spring, intensive research this summer (May 18-August 12), and participation in the 2006 iGEM jamboree at MIT in the fall.

Application

The Duke iGEM Fellows competitive application process began December 16, 2005.

Current Duke undergraduate students are eligible to enter the process by emailing igem2006@duke.edu with the following:

  • Name
  • NetID
  • Year
  • Major(s) and minor(s)
  • C.V. (as .pdf or .doc attachment)
  • Course/labwork undertaken that is applicable to iGEM.
  • 300 words or less on what you hope to gain from a Duke iGEM experience.
  • 300 words or less on what you hope to contribute to a Duke iGEM team (computational, experimental, etc.).
  • External funding for which you plan on applying.

Joining a team will depend on the number of applications received and commitment to the iGEM schedule. The organizers will begin contacting students from the applications received by mid-January 2006 with further information. Given the tentative schedule below, applications may be greatly improved by seeking out external funding support and accommodations for summer 2006.

Faculty, post-docs, and graduate students are highly encouraged to participate as advisers to the undergraduate teams and, should they desire, contribute independently through a "Free Style" category as well. Please contact the organizers below for further details.

Support

Duke iGEM may or may not directly provide student funding.

However external support is available.

  • At least 5 stipends will be offered to engineering majors through the [http://www.pratt.duke.edu/academics/undergrad_fellows.php Pratt Research Fellows Program]
  • Rising Sophomores are encouraged to apply to the [http://www.aas.duke.edu/trinity/resfel/ Howard Hughes Research Fellows Program]
  • Rising Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to apply to the [http://www.aas.duke.edu/trinity/research/sscholar/ Howard Hughes Summer Scholars Program]
  • Students not receiving stipends from Duke iGEM or through external funding will be eligible for 2 credits independent study in BME (or relevant department) and a half credit for the Duke iGEM Summer Seminar. Please note that stipends and course credit are mutually exclusive.

Schedule

  • coming spring 2006!
  • tentatively:
    • spring 2006 - workshops, recruitment of teams, potential ideas brainstorming and training.
    • summer 2006 - project development, implementation, and an inter-Duke jamboree.
    • fall 2006 - Duke teams at intercollegiate jamboree.
