The James A. Purdy Summer Research Fellowship Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to perform medical physics research at a highly ranked academic medical center. Fellows are assigned a research project that matches their interests, and they perform research under the supervision of a medical physicist mentor. Fellows also have the opportunity to shadow our clinical medical physicists and participate in additional educational experiences.
There are multiple fellowships awarded each year, each carrying a competitive stipend provided by the Department of Radiation Oncology at WashU Medicine. The fellowship covers a period of 10 weeks during the summer academic semester (end of May through early August). The actual calendar start and end dates vary year to year.
The application deadline is January 15, 2026. Fellows will be notified of their acceptance by early March.
