TRIUMF is delighted to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 4th annual Richard E. Azuma Undergraduate Summer Fellowship.
The application deadline is January 3, 2025.
The Fellowship is aimed at: Students who are known amongst peers and teachers as exceptional individuals with a demonstrated track record of talent, passion, and leadership. The Azuma Fellowship is seeking not only students with stellar undergraduate records, but also those with diverse backgrounds, collaborative spirit, creativity, and other attributes that will set them apart as future researchers.
Two Fellowships will be awarded each year to students in the summer before their final year before graduation. The intent is to expose these students who are interested in TRIUMF’s science program to our research opportunities before they start applying for grad schools in the autumn of their final year. Fellows will choose from a carefully selected list of unique paid research opportunities. Travel to and from Vancouver, as well as a one-week stay at TRIUMF House, will be reimbursed. Fellows who later elect to attend graduate school at one of TRIUMF’s Member Universities will be eligible for a $5000 entrance scholarship.
To fulfil TRIUMF’s values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and commitment to our Strategic Plan, the Azuma Fellowship seeks to actively recruit members of underrepresented groups who have experienced historically and/or current barriers to equity.
These include:
* Indigenous Peoples
* Women
* Visible Minority / Racialized Persons
* Persons with a Disability
* Persons of Marginalized Sexual Orientation, Gender Identities and Gender Expressions
