SUMMER student positions in Hair Research

The laboratory regularly accepts undergraduate and medical students for summer research projects. Students should expect to work in the laboratory for a minimum of 2 months and preferably 3 months thorugh the summer recess.

Typically, students work on a small, self contained study, that is part of a larger project. Each student is expected to conduct the research project and produce a summary report of their data at the end of the summer. Good results will form part of a peer reviewed medical journal publication with the student acknowledged as a co-author.

There are some opportunities for summer students at the University of British Columbia to apply for a stipend from the Faculty of Medicine. See the UBC faculty of Medicine web site for details: http://www.med.ubc.ca/ To be considered for these stipends early application to the Hair Laboratory is encouraged in November or December. The final deadline for application is in mid January - but early application avoids panic!

It is also possible for students at other universities in Canada to apply for a stipend from the Skin Research Training centre. For details see: http://wwwskinresearch.ca To be considered for these stipends early application to the Hair Laboratory is encouraged in November or December.
