Comments closedThe California Forums for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet the needs of advanced undergraduates and master’s candidates who belong to groups that are currently underrepresented in doctoral-level programs. The groups include low-income and first-generation college students and especially African Americans, American Indians, Chicanos/Latinos, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Asian American women, and Asian American men in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences.

Comments closedDr. Weinstein will discuss the Resonant Body Transistor (RBT), which can be integrated into a standard CMOS process for low power clock generation and high-Q tank circuits. We recently demonstrated the first hybrid RF MEMS-CMOS resonators in Si at the transistor level of IBM’s 32nm SOI CMOS process, without the need for any post-processing or packaging. The unreleased, Si bulk acoustic resonators are driven capacitively using the thin gate dielectric, and actively sensed using a body-contacted nFET incorporated into the resonant cavity. FET sensing with the high fT, high performance transistors in CMOS amplifies the mechanical signal before the presence of parasitics. The resulting RF-MEMS resonators provide low power, low cost, small footprint building blocks for on-chip signal generation and processing.

Comments closedYou are cordially invited to apply to Arizona State University’s Postbaccalaureate Research Program (PREP) for 2012-2013. This program is designed to help prepare underrepresented students with recent baccalaureate degrees pursue a PhD in the biomedical sciences. Accepted students will be paid $21,000 over the course of the one-year program, receive faculty-mentored research experience, and GRE preparation. Upon completion, students will be prepared to apply to competitive doctoral programs. Early applications are strongly encouraged. Application deadline: March 30, 2012.

Comments closedThe Institute for Biology Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites junior and senior undergraduate students interested in research careers in the biological sciences to participate in the Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP). As part of the program, students do full-time research for 10 weeks with a faculty member in one of eight disciplinary areas:

Comments closedDo you know a graduating senior who is passionate about pursuing a career in a physical or biomedical science, but needs additional coursework, training, or research experience before beginning PhD-level work?
The Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge Program is seeking students with undergraduate majors in physics, chemistry, biology, or other science disciplines, who are motivated to pursue the PhD but require additional coursework, training, and/or research experience. Unlike a post-baccalaureate program, successful students earn a master’s degree upon completion of the program’s requirements. By completing a master’s degree under the guidance of caring faculty mentors, students in the Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge program develop the strong academic foundation, research skills, and one-on-one mentoring relationships that will foster a successful transition to the PhD. The program is flexible and is individualized to the goals and needs of each student. Courses are selected to address any gaps in academic preparation, and research experiences are provided that allow students to develop — and to demonstrate — their full scientific talent and potential. To date, 92% of students admitted into the Bridge Program have successfully gained admission into a PhD program at Vanderbilt or to another PhD program of their choice.
