The Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy announces the 2015 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program. The program is intended for highly motivated undergraduates interested in a research career in the pharmaceutical and environmental sciences. Students are provided with an opportunity to conduct full-time research in areas related to Pharmacology and Toxicology, Environmental Health Sciences, Pharmaceutics, Medicinal Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Clinical Pharmacy. The SURF program is open to undergraduate students currently enrolled at a university in the United States. Previous experience performing independent laboratory or clinical research is not required.
The 10-week program will run May 26 through July 31, 2015 and provides a $2,800 stipend. Students must be available for the entire 10-week period. Training includes hands-on research conducted in the laboratories or clinical practices of faculty members, round table discussions of research progress, and seminars on research careers and activities of the faculty. Students also participate in career development workshops and a field trip to a pharmaceutical company. At the end of the fellowship, each student will provide a brief oral presentation on his or her summer research project.
To apply to the Summer Research Fellowship Program:
Complete the online application. You will need to upload a personal statement, CV/resume, and transcripts.
Applications must be submitted online. Your letter of recommendation should be emailed directly to surf@eohsi.rutgers.edu. All application materials must be received by February 5, 2015. You will receive email notification when we have received your online application and letter of recommendation. Only complete applications will be reviewed.
Students are responsible for finding local housing for the 10-week duration of the SURF program. Additional funding for room and board is not available. All questions concerning summer housing should be directed to the Residence Life Assignments Office at oncampus@rci.rutgers.edu or (848) 445-0750.
For further information, please contact surf@eohsi.rutgers.edu. Students selected for the program will begin to be notified on March 14, 2015. Students will have 1 week to inform the Program of their intent to participate. Notifications of selected students will be made through April 4, 2015. Students who are not selected will be notified by April 11, 2015. Students selected for SURF are expected to become undergraduate members of the Society of Toxicology and the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at no charge and join the SURF LinkedIn Page.
Note: Pharmacy students selected for the SURF program will be placed into Cycle III for their introductory pharmacy practice experience.
The SURF Program at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is financially supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences(1R25ES020721), the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, the Society of Toxicology, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the Dean of the School of Pharmacy.
