G.R.O.U.P. Apprenticeships

G.R.O.U.P. Apprenticeships pair faculty members and undergraduate students in summer research projects, allowing the students to develop new skills under the guidance of a faculty mentor and to experience the rigor and excitement of academic research in an area of their interest. Faculty gain the time and opportunity to explore new ideas, and the collaboration with their apprentice may generate new undergraduate courses and curricula.

The deadline for summer 2008 apprenticeship applications is April 14, 2008. Applications should consist of a one- to two-page letter of interest in a specific project (along with an unofficial transcript). Apprentices will be chosen by the faculty sponsor and will receive a stipend of $2,500 for the summer.

Questions may be addressed to Program Coordinator Harris Kornstein at 510/643-9670 or harriskornstein@berkeley.edu.
