For IGB PIs

We are piloting a program to help themes at the IGB identify students of all levels to work on computational projects. Themes can generate text for ads, which we will use to recruit and screen candidates from across campus. The ad generator and further instructions can be found here, or email cg@igb.illinois.edu.

We've also uploaded a list of students interested in getting involved at the IGB, along with their technical skills. See here. Please email cg@igb.illinois.edu if you'd like to contact one of the students.

For students

Undergraduates can sign up for research course credit to pursue these opportunities. Hourly pay is a possibility for some of these projects.

Students who are interested in learning more about genomics can check out IGB's MOOC called Genomics: Decoding the Universal Language of Life.
