I wanted to highlight the opportunities for summer research with Williams College faculty. From the department webpage:

Each summer dozens of students are hired to assist Williams faculty in their research programs. Students work up to ten weeks and receive a stipend of $350/week (if they live in the dormitories their room is paid for, but they must pay for at least a few meals/week in the dining halls). If you are interested in this job opportunity you must first talk to faculty members to discuss your interest in doing research and the type of research being done in their labs. To facilitate this process, there will be an evening informational meeting about summer research one evening in early February, as well as a "lab open house" when current research students and faculty members will be available to answer questions. [Not all faculty will be hiring students this summer--a list of faculty who are hiring students will be available here in early February, but you are welcome at any time to look over the faculty webpages on this website.] After researching the array of research opportunities available, you should carefully read and complete the summer research application and submit it to the Biology Department by 11 PM on February 24, 2007.

Deadlines for submitting on-line applications:
