Summer Research Job at OSU! Are you interested in biology, bioinformatics, and science education? from [email protected]

We are looking for a motivated and talented undergraduate student to work on our science outreach curriculum development project during summer 2017. As our NSF-funded summer student, you would be paid to work with Dr. Stephen Ramsey and one other undergraduate student, while you develop an exciting bioinformatics-related activity that will ultimately be used by high school students in after-school science clubs. In developing this activity, you will get to analyze protein sequence data from an 80 million year old dinosaur (!) in order to gain insights into the phylogenetic relationship between dinosaurs and modern metazoans. The summer work would involve writing, using bioinformatics tools such as BLAST, computer-based drawing, interacting and communicating with other researchers, and interacting and communicating with local experts in science outreach. The ideal applicant for this position will have previous coursework in biochemistry and biology, excellent written and spoken communication skills, and a strong desire to help us communicate our science to a broader audience. Computer skills (i.e., experience with command-line scripting) are a big plus. Successful completion of this summer work experience would be a good resume-builder for a STEM career. For students seeking to go to graduate school in a STEM field, it would also be a valuable demonstration of your commitment to STEM outreach, which is particularly useful for NSF fellowship applications. Time commitment is 20-30 hours/week for 10 weeks, at a pay rate of $10/hr. Please send your resume (with GPA) and brief email explaining your interest in the position, to [email protected]. Application due date is May 10th.

A NEW PROGRAM from WME and you are invited! TEA TIME WITH FACULTY
Come and meet our amazing faculty with a small group…just 10 students and one special faculty member! Each week we will host a faculty member for a relaxed informal discussion. Find out what excites them about engineering, what challenges they have overcome, what dreams they have, and what interests they have outside of the COE. This is your chance to really get to know a professor!

This week:
Dr Bryony DuPont: Her research focuses on understanding and improving the process of design in order to facilitate the creation of new technologies that never before existed. Outside of engineering, Dr Dupont sings, and acts in community theater…have you seen her on stage? Don’t miss meeting this dynamic young professor!

Thursday April 20 11AM-12PM in room 220 Johnson Hall, the Women in Engineering Center.
RSVP here!
Tea/coffee and snacks provided!
