Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) is pleased to announce the Summer 2012 Research Scholar Program. This year's program will run for 8 weeks, beginning June 11, 2012 and ending  July 27, 2012.

Research Scholars will gain educational and professional experience within their departments under the supervision of a mentor a maximum of 30 hours per week for the duration of the 8 week program. Students who successfully complete the requirements of the program will be offered stipends of $1500 to facilitate their participation. All students who wish to apply for the Research Scholar Program must be current undergraduates and have completed a minimum of one year of undergraduate study (please see application for further eligibility details).

Attached are the descriptions for the Research Scholar positions available for Summer 2012. Please read each position description and the accompanying information carefully. Students may apply for up to three positions, although it is only necessary to complete the application once in order to do so. Applications should be completed  NOW! Also, recommendation letters ( only one please, from an advisor or professor who knows you well) should be emailed to Jean.Hoffman@lvhn.org in Word 2003 or earlier or .pdf format, within one week of the date of your application. Please note that your application will not be reviewed until it is complete and your recommendation letter is received. We expect a very high volume of applications, therefore, we ask that you refrain from calling or emailing regarding the status of your application, as this could slow up our process and delay completion of the process. To check the status of your application, login in here online .
 
Materials received after this date will not be considered.
