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/training this spring, intensive research this summer (May 18-August 12), and participation in the 2006 iGEM jamboree at MIT in the fall. If you have questions/comments or would like to be put on the mailing list (for those who have not yet registered) email dukeigem@gmail.com.
Application
The Duke iGEM Fellows 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.).
- External funding for which you plan to apply/have applied and when you expect a response.
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.
