• Cancer Research Program at St. Jude Children's Hospital for Summer 2015, Rolling Applications until Feb. 1

  Jan 13, 2015 4:00 am705 views

  The program offers a unique opportunity for students preparing for careers in the biomedical sciences, medicine, and pharmacy to gain biomedical and oncology research experience. Students participate in basic or clinical oncology research, research and clinical conferences, and a core lecture series designed specifically for them. All participants make a PowerPoint presentation on their research project and submit a report on their research project written in the style of a journal in which their faculty mentor publishes.  
  
  A primary goal of the POE program is to encourage students to pursue a career in cancer research. Thus, we are particularly interested in highly qualified students with a serious career interest in cancer research, either as a clinical scientist or laboratory-based research scientist.
   
  Prior research experience is required for all applicants. The POE 2014 class average undergraduate GPA was 3.80. In 2014, 51 students from 39 schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia were selected from 500 applicants. POEs must be United States citizens, non-citizen nationals, or possess a visa permitting permanent residence in the United States (required by the funding agency). All must have completed at least their college sophomore year by the time they participate. The minimum  requirement is 11 weeks during Summer 2015.  All POE applicants must have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.40 (on a 4.0 scale) in math and science (biology,  chemistry, and physics) and at least a 3.40 overall. The remuneration is $4,000. Fully furnished group housing adjacent to our campus is provided at no cost for non- local participants.

   

  The POE home page <http://www.stjude.org/poe> contains links to the program application. The deadline for receipt of all 2015 application materials is February 1, 2015. Early application is highly recommended, since we make some early placements.  Letters of recommendation sent as PDF attachments to email are requested. Members of under-represented ethnic minority groups and women are particularly encouraged to apply, since one of our major long-term program goals is to increase the diversity of persons engaged in oncology research and practice. Our NIH/NCI-funded (2 P30CA021765-34S1) Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) grant provides remuneration for additional undergraduate under-represented minority POE Program participants.

• Capstone research opportunity for Junior Honors students

  Aug 31, 2015 2:30 pm14 views

  Are you interested in investigating how your peers and others use social media to improve connections and communications between institutions and individuals, and how colleges can use social media to find their alumni and evaluate their preparation for careers? The Honors College is looking for juniors to participate in applied research that will lead to a capstone project. In this research project, you will track and analyze how college graduates use sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook to report their job status and advance in their careers. You will examine what kinds of careers Honors alumni choose and determine how those differ over time. There is flexibility for you to contribute to the design of the work and pursue questions most relevant to your interests, such as gender differences in the use of social media or in types of careers followed after graduation. This work would be appropriate for students from a variety of majors, including communications, psychology, sociology, gender and women’s studies, and others.  To apply, please fill out this application by September 1: https://uofi.uic.edu/sb/sec/2211767 .

• Chemistry Research Position for Summer or Fall with Dr. Cabana-Jimenez

  Mar 20, 2015 5:45 pm202 views

  Dr. Cabana-Jimenez is seeking undergraduate research assistants in his Chemistry lab.

  About his research:
  View his URE Profile: http://tigger.uic.edu/htbin/codewrap/bin/orgs/ura/cgi-bin/browse_dept.php?prof=jcabana&dept=Chemistry

  More about the project: The research in my group is in the broad field of inorganic and physical chemistry of materials, especially in view of their redox and transport properties.  Our current emphasis is on problems in energy storage, with the goal to contribute to future generations of batteries. The project that I have in mind involves the synthesis of solids with the ability to conduct Li ions fast, while being electronic insulators. This behavior would make them suitable electrolytes for batteries based on non-flammable components, or as conducting membranes in batteries where different, yet separate liquid solutions are required. The student will get hands-on training on the synthesis of inorganic solids by ceramic routes, as well as the determination of purity and structure using X-ray diffraction. He/she will also measure the electrical properties using setups in my lab, and potentially evaluate electrochemical stability in a simplified battery prototype.

  About the positions:

  He is looking for one of each of the following:

  - an intern for the summer, preferably full time (35-40 h/week). A stipend would be available.

  - students interested in spending some hours in the lab (8 h/week is the minimum I set above) during the semester, starting in the Fall. I envision this as an Honors activity, so there is no stipend associated with this activity.

  Apply: Any interested students should send their resume and a statement of interests directly to Dr. Cabana-Jimenez at jcabana@uic.edu.

• Conference Presentation Opportunity: Terms of Endearment: Love Letters of the Literary

  Nov 5, 2014 6:00 pm22 views

  SEASECS 2015 Undergraduate Panel Proposal:

  Terms of Endearment: Love Letters of the Literary

  The letter figures heavily during the Early Modern period, a time of prolific letter writing by both real and fictional personalities. From the personal correspondence of aristocrats like Madame de Sévigné and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu to the epistolary fiction of Richardson’s Clarissa, Rousseau’s Héloïse, and so many others that filled bookshelves across the European continent and into the Americas, the letter was an omnipresent means of communication.

  This panel proposes to leave fictional works behind and focus on the actual correspondence of the period’s literary elite. Although many of these personal letters were written with the idea of publication or, at the least, distribution in salons and literary circles, private letters were also a prominent part of the daily ritual of many prominent authors and celebrities. Written to their families, friends, mentors, or professional associates, these letters provide insight into the “quotidian,” the everyday aspects of Early Modern relationships. These writings touch on topics of historical and political significance, they document cultural ideas, and they sometimes offer a rare intimate gaze into secrets of their authors. It is here that we are apt to find the most genuine expressions of love in all its forms.

  Presenters will explore the love relationships present in these letters, examining exchanges between husbands and wives, parents and children, friends and confidants. Through their analysis, presenters will seek to uncover deep-rooted social standards that may have influenced these correspondents, unique backgrounds or situations that may have affected their exchanges, or even the simplest universal emotions that these critically acclaimed authors may have shared with only their closest confidants. Additionally, presenters might consider connections between the autobiographical letters and the fictional works produced by their authors to expose parallels, contrasts or inconsistencies.

  Undergraduate students are particularly encouraged to submit proposals.
