2) Student Assistant Funding to Support Researchers Facing a Dual Burden: Laboratory Assistance
The Department of Biology offers targeted support for researchers in the final phase of their academic studies (e.g., bachelor's or master's thesis, or PhD dissertation) who are simultaneously caring for young children (infants, toddlers, or school-aged) or family members in need of care. To ease this double burden, financial support is available for hiring a student laboratory assistant. Details on eligibility and how to apply can be found in the funding guidelines.
