Summer Undergraduate Research Program
The Program
The Einstein Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) provides an 8-week research-intensive summer
experience for
40-50 undergraduate students each year. SURP students live and work on the Einstein campus. SURP students
spend most of
their time carrying out supervised laboratory research projects in laboratories they identified as being of
particular
interest to them in their personal statements. During the students' tenure at Einstein, SURP students
interact with
graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at the lab meetings and journal clubs. The undergraduate students
also
participate in specially designed weekly seminars, given by Einstein faculty, on a wide variety of
biomedically
relevant, basic research topics. Additionally summer students also attend career development workshops to
learn about
professional interviewing and networking skills. At the end of the SURP, students prepare a written abstract
and present
their research findings at the Einstein Summer Research Symposium (poster session).
