STEP 3

To indicate interest in engaging in research with the Biology department, please submit the online Biology Research Interest Form each semester when open.

In the online form, students interested in summer fellowships indicate the faculty research programs that interest them the most.  Students are not required to contact potential faculty mentors before filling out this form, but emailing faculty with research of interest is encouraged.  Talking with faculty can also help students think about research opportunities beyond Bowdoin, which is useful given limited space in faculty labs. 

The deadline to express interest in summer research opportunities with Biology faculty via the form is Monday, November 20, 2023.
