(Number depends on sponsorship of team and available resources. Some travel grants are available.) ---+++ How to Apply * Send a resume and a short (<1-page) statement about why you are interested in synthetic biology to [[mailto:utigem@gmail.com][utigem@gmail.com]]. Include at least one idea you have for a possible project or use for synthetic biology (it doesn't necessarily have to be realistic). * We will begin contacting students who have applied after %RED%Jan. 7th%ENDCOLOR% for interviews. * We will have a mixer as an opportunity to meet with students and advisors from last year's team right before the semester begins for students who have applied to join the team or who are interested in learning more before deciding whether to apply. * We encourage non-biologists to apply. Many of the most successful and interesting iGEM teams have had contributions from computer scientists, physicists, web programmers, graphic designers, and artists. ---++ Past iGEM Team Websites %TABLE{tableborder="0" tableframe="void" cellborder="0"}% | <img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/2012_project.png" alt="2012_project.png" width='150' height='150' style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;" \> %BR% [[http://2012.igem.org/Team:Austin_Texas][2012 iGEM Team]] %BR% *Decaffeination* | <img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/2006_project.jpg" alt="2006_project.jpg" width='150' height='150' style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;" \> %BR% [[http://2006.igem.org/wiki/index.php/University_of_Texas_2006][2006 iGEM Team]] %BR% *Edge Detector* | <img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/2005_project.jpg" alt="2005_project.jpg" width='150' height='150' style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;" \> %BR% [[http://2006.igem.org/wiki/index.php/UT_Austin_2005][2005 iGEM Team]] %BR% *Edge Detector* | <img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/2004_project.jpg" alt="2004_project.jpg" width='150' height='150' style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;" \> %BR% [[http://2004.igem.org/austin.cgi][2004 iGEM Team]] %BR% *Bacterial Photography* |
