This semester, we have 16 laboratories available for you. 11 labs are Rutgers University-Camden (RUC) labs, and 5 labs are Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU). Once students are accepted to a research lab for shadowing, they will spend a few hours each week (1-4 hours depending on the agreement between the student and the professor) in the lab interacting with the professor and their graduate students. Students are not expected to perform experiments or do lab chores (e.g. dishwashing).
The application window opens from February 1 starting at 9 a.m. through February 17 closing at 5 p.m. Complete the form below and click “Submit”.
Lab options are below the form. You may choose up to 3 RUC labs and 1 CMSRU lab.
Follow the instructions and the application time period strictly.
- Resume (1 page) and Cover Letter/Personal Statement (maximum 1 page). Use the .pdf file format.
- You may consider guidelines for your resume and cover letter HERE.
- Include your LinkedIn account link in the resume.
- Use your scarletmail.rutgers.edu email address.
- Spell-check the text
- Ask a couple of people to proofread your application package.
After you submit your application, we will review applications and set up interviews. The schedule will take place as follows:
- Interviews will be scheduled from February 20 – February 24.
- Professors will send the list of accepted students to the instructor by 5 pm on February 24.
- Interview results will be notified to the students by 9 am March 3.
- Shadowing duration: March – April.
