The Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics offers a 10-week research opportunity for talented undergraduate students to perform cutting-edge research at the intersection of cancer research and mathematical sciences. The program is designed to provide the participants with a unique interdisciplinary research experience, mentoring, and professional development. Students will work full-time on a research project mentored by an IICD researcher. In addition to research, participants will attend weekly events, such as scientific seminars, workshops, career and professional development events, lab tours, scientific writing/presentation opportunities, etc. Undergraduate students from mathematics, computer science, statistics, computational biology, data science, biology, engineering, etc. are welcome to apply. Students from traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM fields are strongly encouraged to apply.

The 2024 IICD Summer Research Program will be announced later in the Fall semester.

Dates are subject to change and will be confirmed closer to the beginning of the program. We are currently planning for an in-person program. However, the program may be held remotely or in person, depending on university protocols.

• Be a US citizen or permanent resident
• Be an undergraduate in the Fall 2024 (seniors graduating in the Spring/Summer 2024 cannot apply)
• Open to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors
• The program is not open to undergraduate students from Columbia University/Barnard College
• Previous research experience is not required. Students will be expected to work full-time for the duration of the program, so students cannot be enrolled in classes or work another job.
