How do I apply for a summer internship in the Barnard Chemistry department?
Summer research in the Barnard Chemistry Department typically involves some ten to twenty students. Student stipends for ten weeks research are about $4000, with funding from various sources. Each year in February the department schedules faculty presentations where you can hear about possible research projects. Talk to all Professors whose area of research sounds interesting. Dont be shy: we enjoy talking about our research! A simple application form is available; the deadline for application is typically in February. We usually have many more applicants that we have space or funding, so you should look for other opportunities as well. We give preference to students who will be doing Senior Theses the following year, and after that, to students who have completed BC3333/3335 and BC3338/3340. Good lab skills, enthusiasm, and ability to work well with others are other important qualifications.
