  High School Students:  For the past ten years, the Buck Institute has sponsored a summer program designed to provide Marin high school students with exposure to biomedical research. Both the students and the Institute seem to have benefited. In 2010, however, a hiatus in the program is necessary; no decision about subsequent years has been made.

   

  High school students working in a research laboratory require considerable supervision to ensure their safety and optimize their learning experience. In recent years, the Buck Institute has taken on new educational programs involving undergraduate and graduate university students, whose scientific backgrounds enable them to take better advantage of the experience we have to offer. In turn, the need to staff these programs reduces the number of Buck scientists available to work with high school students.

   

  We regret that the summer program for high school students will not be offered in 2010, especially as some students will be disappointed. We encourage them to visit our website next year to see what research opportunities are available at the high school or college level.
   

   

Buck Environment

The Buck Institute emphasizes a collaborative approach to clinically relevant biomedical research on the biology of aging and age-associated diseases.

The Buck Institute's laboratories are run independently by a faculty member. In each lab, staff scientists, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, research associates and technicians work under mentors. A research and administrative infrastructure supports all of the Institute's laboratories.

The Buck Institute offers an opportunity to work in an exciting and dynamic environment featuring a world-class group of researchers who utilize state-of-the-art techniques, on a campus that was designed by the renowned architect I.M. Pei. The Buck Institute is located in Marin County, 25 miles north of San Francisco.

THE BUCK INSTITUTE PROVIDES A WORKPLACE WHERE:

• Time, skills and talent make a difference
• Collaboration, teamwork, and initiative are valued
• Diversity and a passion for discovery are appreciated
• Scientific excellence and academic independence are supported

The Institute offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including continuing education workshops and employee events.
