Just wanted to share this post-bac research opportunity specifically geared towards those interested in aging research at the Buck Institute in Novato, CA. More information below:
The Buck Postbaccalaureate Research Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to investigate insights into the critical molecular and biological drivers of aging as well as translation of that research into new therapies which will improve healthspan. Postbaccalaureate Researchers will conduct biomedical research to combat diseases of aging, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes. Under the guidance of a scientific mentor, each Postbaccalaureate Researcher will be responsible for his or her own research project. The Program emphasizes both laboratory and communication skills training to develop well-rounded future scientists, healthcare professionals, and policy makers.
The Postbaccalaureate Research Program is designed to offer recent college and university graduates the opportunity to take a gap year before continuing their research career. Participants of the program will have the opportunity to improve their laboratory, critical thinking, and scientific communication skills within the context of a research project. Other program highlights include the ability for international students to participate (via OPT) and a flexible schedule for interviews. The online application and full descriptions of each research project are available at Internships - BUCK. Completed applications will be accepted until 12 pm PST Monday, February 21, 2022 (12 pm PST 2/21/22).
Feel free to DM me if you have more specific questions about the program!
