Undergraduate Research

The Center for Chemical Evolution is committed to giving undergraduates the opportunity to have hands-on learning experiences in the laboratory.  Each Center university faculty member has undergraduate researchers participating in origins of life research during the summers and academic years.

Undergraduate Summer Research

The CCE Summer Undergraduate Research Program allows undergraduate scientists to conduct supervised research with a faculty mentor working in the field of molecular evolution and origins of life chemistry.  Students are trained in research methods, data analysis, and written/oral communication of their results.  Depending on the specific school and advisor you are interested in, your application will be folded into an existing program at that school.  You will receive a minimum stipend of $3,500 for 10 weeks of research, and campus housing will be provided.  Applications for Summer 2013 will be available late 2012.  Please visit the Opportunities page for updates and information on how to apply.
