Summer research is a great experience. The 91̽»¨ Department of Biology has a number of research positions available for Summer 2018. Most of these are funded by individual faculty research grants and by several endowed departmental funds. The 91̽»¨ Mudd biology department has been the fortunate recipient of funds to endow three summer research fellowships:

• The Emily H. Mudd Summer Research Fellowship – established with a bequest from Emily Mudd – supports an Emily Mudd Research Fellow each summer
• The Munzer Summer Research Fellowship – established with a generous donation from Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph J. Munzer – supports a Munzer Summer Research Fellow approximately every two out of three summers
• The William K. Purves Summer Research Fellowship – established with a lead gift and additional donations from many HMC faculty and biology alumni to honor Dr. Bill Purves, the founding member of the HMC Biology Department, on his retirement – supports a Purves Summer Research Fellow approximately one out of three summers.

Visit biology research opportunities for more on summer research at 91̽»¨ Mudd and for links to projects and application forms. Working at Mudd is a great way to jumpstart your senior thesis or to find out if you’d like to work in a particular professor’s lab in the future.

Working off-campus is also a great way to spend your summer. It exposes you to new places and people and can provide opportunities to work in areas that aren’t available on-campus. Either way, you can’t lose!
