We seek to attract the best candidates and thus financial compensation will be provided to cover successful candidates' living and travel expenses. Biomedical research increasingly relies on quantitative approaches and cutting edge technology. Many would agree that the future of the life sciences lies at the crossroads of biology, hard sciences and engineering. The School of Life Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique F?d?rale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland - http://sv.epfl.ch/page58921-en.html-, was created on this premise, responding to a demonstrated interest in biologically relevant questions among EPFL professors and researchers in chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Capitalizing on its initial development in neuroscience (under the auspices of the Brain Mind Institute) and biotechnology (led by the Institute of Bioengineering), the School of Life Sciences has continued to grow; in 2005 the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) joined EPFL, and in the same year EPFL launched the Global Health Institute. In all areas, we emphasize integrated approaches spanning a range of disciplines from functional genomics to high-tech bioengineering. Selection Criteria: The summer research fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis, taking into consideration several criteria including the student's academic record, personal statement and letters of recommendation.
