The Center for Computational Biology will be offering the Berkeley Connect Program in Computational Biology in Fall 2017. This is a great opportunity for you to be part of a community of like-minded peers and learn more about the fast growing field of Computational Biology.
When you enroll in the one-unit Berkeley Connect course in Computational Biology 98BC (for first-years and sophomore) or 198BC (for juniors and seniors), you will be assigned a graduate student who will serve as your personal mentor for the semester. At the same time you'll be placed in a small group with other students who share your academic interests. Throughout the semester you'll receive one-on-one advising from your mentor, and also participate in small-group discussions (with free food!), special events featuring professors and alums, and field trips to explore computational biology resources. Below is the course description and enrollment information. We hope you to see you in the course in the fall and please don't hesitate to contact me ( xuqu...@berkeley.edu) if you have any questions. *Course Description* Computational biology is a fast growing field that has applications in a wide range of disciplines and careers. While its broad and interdisciplinary nature means a wealth of opportunities, it can be difficult to discern how to best become a computational biologist. Through the Berkeley Connect Program, the Center for Computational Biology will engage interested students in small group discussions about the various paths of computational biology. We will discuss short-term concerns, such as what to do while in college, to long-term goals, such as different career options and the fast changing nature of computational biology. We will help students develop a support network of peers, fellows, and faculty and be informed of computational biology resources on campus. *Berkeley Connect in Computational Biology 98BC* *Instructor: *Nicholas Ingolia (Faculty Director), Amanda Mok (Instructor) *Time and Place: *Wed, 6-7pm, 310 Hearst Mining *Units:* 1 unit, PF *Class Number: *13448 *Berkeley Connect in Computational Biology 198BC* *Instructor: *Nicholas Ingolia (Faculty Director), Amanda Mok (Instructor) *Time and Place: *Wed, 5-6pm, 310 Hearst Mining *Units:* 1 unit, PF *Class Number: *13448 *98BC is designated for lower level students (first-year students and sophomores) and 198BC is designated for upper level students (juniors and seniors). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NYU Steinhardt Embedded Master of Arts in Teaching <http://teachereducation.steinhardt.nyu.edu/> in Secondary Education places aspiring teachers in one of our high-need partner schools from the first day of class.

Are you free this summer? Here is a chance to complement your undergraduate degree with a Summer Business Program from Haas The Haas School of Business invites you to consider the BASE Summer Program (Business for Arts, Sciences and Engineering). BASE is a six-week business boot camp that enables non-business majors to take business courses while earning full academic credit <http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/BASE/credit.html>. Some former BASE students have gone on to earn MBA degrees, while others have accepted jobs in marketing, product development, consulting, financial services, and technology. BASE students receive many benefits, including custom workshops, company visits, lunches, small class size with top professors and Haas Alumni Network benefits. The ideal participant of the BASE Program is an undergraduate student majoring in liberal arts, sciences or engineering. BASE is the only premier business summer program or institute where students can earn units <http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/BASE/credit.html>. *Application Process* We encourage you to apply as soon as possible given the popularity of the Program in the past 19 years. <http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/BASE/students.html#2016year19> There is no application fee. To apply or for more information please visit our website at: http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/BASE/ Download our program brochure <http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/BASE/pdf/haas-base-brochure.pdf> (.pdf). *What Our Alumni Say about the Program* After BASE I ended up getting a job at Oracle in their sales department and I love it here. I believe that BASE was a huge component of the success I had getting this job, and knowing how to operate in a business setting. So thank you for that! I also would like to note the reaction people have when they find out I went to Haas. I've received a lot of positive feedback from recruiters, managers, and my peers. Collin Barlow, UC Berkeley ’16, BASE ‘16 They call it Berkeley's hidden gem for a reason; its rigorous, exciting, fun, challenging, looks great on your resume, and it’s an amazing way to grow as a person and make connections with successful students from all over the world. It's a program that transforms complete strangers from all over the world into one big family that never wants to be apart. You are going to wish the program never ends. I would recommend the BASE program to everyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of business, loves having fun, and wants to create memories and relationships that will last forever.

More information is here (BASE courses are 9 semester units in Summer Session D): http://financialaid.berkeley.edu/summer-aid ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volunteer Position at UCSF: Over the past 4-5 years, I have successfully trained graduated UC Berkeley students as volunteers in my lab. They have then transferred into SRA positions and/or different Med/Pharmacy/Biomedical Sciences programs. *PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Genetic Epidemiology and Genomics Laboratory has a position available for undergraduate(s) who are interested in gaining some lab experience working with large datasets. This is a volunteer position. The focus of the research laboratory is genetic, epigenetic and environmental risk factor studies of autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. The current projects are part of several well-established collaborations including researchers at UC San Francisco and Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland. Laboratory assistants will perform literature and other genetic/related database searches. They will assist with clustering and genotype calling of a very large dataset consisting of MS cases and controls. This is a separate position from our normal wetlab posting and is mostly computer orientated. Laboratory assistants must be able to commit to at least 10-15 hours/week during the academic year and maintain a regular schedule. Previous experience in epidemiology as well as molecular and cell biology, human genetics or equivalent laboratory-related coursework a real plus. Strong computer skills desired. Ability to work over school breaks also a real plus. If you are interested, please send cover letter and resume to hqu...@berkeley.edu.
