For those of you who have talented undergraduate students who may wanted to participate in the (paid) Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (MURAP) at UNC-Chapel Hill this upcoming summer. I have attached the announcement below. Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program Announcement of Summer Student Fellowships May 25-July 31, 2014 For their participation in the program, student fellows will receive 1) a stipend of $3500 (students holding Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowships will receive the summer stipend from their home institutions instead), 2) an allowance for meals of $1500, 3) any required books, 4) a travel allowance up to $500 to cover the cost of transportation to and from Chapel Hill, and 5) on-campus housing. PLEASE NOTE: 1) Dr. Debra Skinner, Associate Director of UNC’s Center for Genomics and Society (CGS) and Adjunct Professor of Anthropology, will fund and serve as mentor to one additional student whose proposed research project is related to the ethical, legal, or social issues involving genetic research. She would be glad to receive inquiries from students who would like to hear more about the types of projects that would meet these requirements. Students with backgrounds in sociology, anthropology or philosophy would be strong candidates. For more information on research projects that would be relevant, please go to the CGS website (genomics.unc.edu/genomicsandsociety), or contact Dr. Skinner ([email protected]). 2) Rising seniors applying to MURAP should consider applying simultaneously to the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT), as their deadline for application is usually April 1. If selected for both our program and theirs, students will be allowed to join IRT’s Associate Program only. Through it participants will receive 1) valuable assistance and counseling during the graduate school application process, 2) fee-waivers when applying to consortium schools, and 3) help advocating for sufficient funding for advanced study. For more information consult andover.edu/SummerSessionOutreach/IFROTeachers/Pages/default.aspx. ************************************************************* Applying to MURAP APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 7, 2014 Program applicants should be mindful that MURAP offers an intensive research experience that requires a substantial commitment of time, intellectual resources and effort. Therefore, students may not be employed or take classes while enrolled in the program and must remain in Chapel Hill during the ten weeks. Weekend travel is discouraged but may be permitted on occasion with approval from mentor and Director. Student fellows are selected based on a variety of factors that may include: To apply to the program please see the instructions found on MURAP’s website murap.unc.edu beginning on November 4, 2013.
