Barefield Lab Internship
TheBarefieldLab is opening in May of 2020 and is looking to hire an
undergraduate student for a summer internship. We are excited to get
the lab setup and running, and about getting to share this unique
experience with some students who are enthusiastic about
biomedical research. The internship period will run from May 26th -
August 21st, with variable start and end dates depending on
undergraduate curriculum schedules.
The ideal candidate is an undergraduate biology or biochemistry major
who is completing their Sophomore or Junior year in the spring of 2020.
TheBarefieldLab is a new cardiovascular basic science laboratory at
Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine. We research the
causes of human genetic heart disease using molecular biology and
biochemistry tools with cell and animal models of disease, with the
goal of improving human health.
This summer internship will provide an opportunity to help establish a
new research program studying cardiovascular biology. The student will
receive training from Dr. DavidBarefieldin aspects of molecular and
cellular biology, perform experiments, analyze data, and present their
findings at the end of the summer. The student will have the chance to
interact with other undergraduate student researchers, Loyola
graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and the other faculty
members in the Cell and Molecular Physiology Department.
Applicants should provide a cover letter stating the reason for your
interest, unofficial transcript of undergraduate course work, and a letter
of recommendation from an undergraduate faculty member. Proof of
health insurance coverage will be required upon acceptance. The
application deadline is March 31st, and notification of selection will be no
later than April 15th.
Please have your letter of recommendation submitted directly to
Dr.Barefield: david.barefield@northwestern.edu
