If you are interested in working with a scientist that is not actively recruiting, you
are welcome to contact those scientists directly about the possibility of working
with them on.

Resource Services or the SSuRe Program will not or forward applications.
3. Application documents:
This Student Application form
Your CV/resume and cover letter
A copy of your University transcripts
One reference letter (e.g. from a professor or previous employer)
Deadline to
Apply
The deadline for students to submit their applications to posted Research Summer
Student positions is posted on our website.
Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible as scientists are free to select
their students for the program at any time. Most selections will be made many weeks
before this final deadline.
Due to the high volume of applications received, only those students selected for an
interview will be contacted. Please follow up with the scientist as the SSuRe Program
does not manage the hiring process.
