Summer Studentships
CaRTT is committed to providing an integrated training program in cancer research leading to better diagnosis or treatment of human disease. In developing partnerships between basic scientists and clinical researchers, it provides stipends for MSc and PhD trainees and postdoctoral fellows.
In a separate program, and in order to bridge the gap to the CaRTT graduate program, CaRTT is offering to help support undergraduate summer students in 2018. Students must: be enrolled in Western University; be under the director supervision of a CaRTT Mentor; and be working on a research project in oncology.
Summer studentships must be under the direct supervision of a CaRTT mentor and must be on research projects in oncology.
See the CaRTT Summer Studentship Application form for more detailed information.
Applications are due March 9, 2018 by noon.
