The 2021 SURP 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.
The Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology offers two summer fellowship programs to support undergraduate students that are interested in research in physiology and/or biomedical sciences. Any student who is currently enrolled at any degree granting University or College is invited to apply, with preference given to those students interested in a career in research. Students can be majoring in the biological science, engineering, computational sciences, physics or mathematics.
In general, quantitative students will join our Short Term Educational Program (STEP) towards Digestive and Metabolic Physiology, and students from underrepresented groups and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds will join our Summer Undergraduate Research in Physiology (SURP) Program.
Each student will be matched, based on his or her interests, to a laboratory that is led by a faculty member of the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology or of the University of Michigan Medical School. The selected laboratories are involved in nationally recognized research, in topics such as hormones and signal transduction, obesity and diabetes, reproduction and circadian rhythms including sleep, gastrointestinal physiology including digestive diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and hypertension, renal and pulmonary function, muscle contractile mechanisms, ion channels and neurophysiology.
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.
