Writing a Project Description

  • New AY 26-27: Please describe, generally, the research underway in your laboratory. Avoid the use of technical terms, jargon or acronyms without explanations.
  • You may include examples of the types of projects that a student may undertake within your lab. That should be decided if/when you are matched.
  • You may list the qualifications required (i.e., a basic understanding of SQL, entry-level calculus) but please keep in mind that these are first-year students who may or may not have lab experience.
  • Avoid references to specific programs (e.g. Presidential Scholars, URAD).
  • If you have a specific period of availability for interviewing students and/or a scheduling app, please feel free to list it in the project description.

Sample Project/Lab Description

Title: The Sample Biochemistry Lab

Research in the Sample laboratory focuses on the chemistry that underlies outstanding challenges in human health, the environment, and sustainability. We are highly interdisciplinary in our experimental approaches to understanding complex biological systems. A first-year researcher may work on a project in one of the following areas:

  • Biochemical assay development

  • Therapeutic discovery in infectious diseases

  • Fluorescence and electron microscopy 

No prior lab experience is necessary, but preference will be given to students interested in majoring in chemistry or those who plan to pursue the introductory chemistry curriculum during their first year.

Professor Sample will be available between 9/22/26-10/2/26. Please email if you would like to schedule an interview.

 

Adding a New Project

  • Click "New Project Draft."
