The 2021 SURF Summer Fellowship Program at the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology is subject to the guidelines/decisions regarding the Covid-19 pandemic from the University of Michigan along with local, state, and federal authorities, and as such may be cancelled. The health and safety of the summer fellows is our top priority.
Short Term Educational Program (STEP) towards Digestive and Metabolic Physiology is specifically targeted to students from mathematics, physics engineering, computational sciences and other quantitative backgrounds to encourage them to apply their expertise to research relevant to digestive and metabolic physiology and associated diseases.
Each student is matched, based on their interests, to a laboratory that is led by a faculty mentor of the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology and other departments at the University of Michigan Medical School(link is external). This collection of laboratories is involved in nationally recognized research, in topics such as obesity and diabetes, endocrine and metabolic diseases, kidney and urologic diseases, nutrition and weight control.
The stipend for 2021 will be $4,200 for twelve weeks of full-time work from June 1 through August 20. The start and/or end date of the fellowship may be shifted slightly to accommodate overlap with the academic year at your institution, if necessary. There will be a required research forum at the end of the summer in which fellows will present their work, as well as opportunities to attend research seminars throughout the summer.
