JOB INFORMATION
The Stemanities Research Competition is a prestigious national event that brings together students from various academic backgrounds to showcase their research projects at the intersection of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and the humanities. This unique competition aims to foster a deeper understanding of complex topics by integrating scientific and humanistic perspectives.
Open to students in their freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior year, the Stemanities Research Competition provides a platform for participants to conduct in-depth research on a chosen topic that combines elements of both STEM and the humanities. This interdisciplinary approach encourages students to explore the connections between scientific knowledge, social implications, cultural contexts, and ethical considerations.
The competition is sponsored by the Institute for Biomedical Sciences, an organization dedicated to promoting excellence in biomedical research and education. The Institute recognizes the value of incorporating humanistic perspectives into scientific inquiry, as it contributes to a more well-rounded and comprehensive understanding of complex issues.
Finalists of the Stemanities Research Competition are invited to La Jolla, California, where they have the opportunity to present their research findings to a panel of esteemed judges and their peers. The event serves as a platform for participants to showcase their innovative ideas, share insights, and engage in intellectual discussions. Monetary awards are granted to the top-performing participants, recognizing their outstanding research contributions and the integration of STEM and humanities in their projects.
The Stemanities Research Competition not only celebrates the achievements of young researchers but also encourages them to think critically, explore new avenues of inquiry, and develop a broader perspective on the complex challenges of our world.
By combining STEM and humanities, students gain a deeper appreciation for the interplay between scientific advancement, societal impact, and ethical considerations, fostering a holistic approach to knowledge and problem-solving.
