Application
The Duke's iGEM team's competitive application process begins December 16, 2005 and ends January 16, 2006.
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.).
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 tenative schedule below, applications may be greatly improved by seeking out external funding support and accomodations 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.
