Genome Research Experience for Undergraduates - GREU
About CEGS
The USC Center of Excellence in Genomic Science is one of nine centers nationally funded by the National Institutes of Health. Our Center's emphasis is on the genetic variation in the human population and in the relationship of that variation to human health.
About the program
Students will work in research laboratories at USC in the general area of genomic science. Students will be placed in a molecular lab or computational group, accordingly to their academic background and interests and based availability of positions. Students will work closely with graduate students and/or faculty on an assigned research project. At the end of their project, students will make presentations of their work to our directors and their peers.
Goal of CEGS
One goal of the Center is to train members of those groups that are traditionally under-represented in the sciences: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (including Alaska Natives) and natives of the Pacific Islands. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
Eligibility
Juniors and seniors at USC who are members of the following groups: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (including Alaska Natives) and natives of the Pacific Islands. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.

To receive this support, the student cannot simultaneously hold a job. The intent is to free the students for maximum effort on their studies and research.
Appropriate fields of study include Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Engineering.
Application Process
The must be filled out and submitted online.

Applicants should include their academic record and a paragraph describing their interest in genomics. Applications shall be accepted until all positions have been filled.
