Friends,<br>
<br>
Our summer NSF-funded<b> Plant Genomics Internship</b> (PGI) program
still has<b> 3-5 slots</b>! <i>I will continue to accept
applications for the next few weeks until the slots are filled.<br>
</i><br>
The program runs<b> June 1-July 31</b>, provides a $3400 stipend to
the student, and we cover the students room & board and
transportation to/from Columbia, Missouri. Since this is an NSF-funded
program, the student must be a citizen or permanent resident and
currently enrolled in college (i.e., graduating seniors are not
eligble).<br>
<br>
We have<b> excellent research opportunities in plant sciences and
genetics at MU</b>. Our just released annual report from the
Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) demonstrates the quality of work
our faculty are doing and the collegiality of the IPG community on
campus (<a
href="http://ipg.missouri.edu/annual_report.php"><font
color="#0000FF">http://ipg.missouri.edu/annual_report.php</font></a>).
Speaking as the Undergraduate Research Program Director, I can
tell you that our faculty mentors in this program are among THE BEST
on campus! (2 of the 4 faculty recognized as Outstanding
undergraduate research mentors from across the ENTIRE campus in 2008 &
2009 were plant sciences mentors). A list of participating labs
can be found on page 4 of the attached "All Summer 2010 Info Pack"
document. <br>
<br>
PGI Students are participants in our larger summer internship program
which I estimate will be about 70 students this year. We have a
wide menu of over 30 educational and social activities for students to
participate in. Students will get the best of both worlds...a great
research environment with faculty in the departments of biology,
biochemistry, plant sciences and computer sciences AND the opportunity
to interact with other students from a broad array of life sciences
disciplines (biomedical research, ecology, animal sciences, cell &
molecular biology, chemistry and biochemistry, bioengineering,
etc).<br>
<br>
If you know of any undergraduate who might be interested, have them
complete the attached application (pages 7-8 of the attached document)
and e-mail it and supporting documents to <a
href="">ugr@missouri.edu</a> (or fax to 573-884-9395). I will be
accepting applications until all slots are filled.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
- Linda<br>
