It's time again to consider applying to the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, have a 3.0 GPA, will have at least 4 semesters left at University of Arizona after the current spring semester, are interested in pursuing research and aspire a graduate degree in a biomedical field, then you certainly should apply. The benefits and opportunities are MANY and there is NO prior research experience required.

 

The simple application and more information can be found at 2021 MARC Program Application. Please note that the application is now combined with UROC so you will have an opportunity to apply to several programs in one process. Be sure to select “Maximizing Access to Research Careers” (MARC) to ensure that your application is automatically forwarded to our office.

 

The financial benefits are:

·         paid partial or full tuition

·         paid health insurance (if needed)

·         $1000 per year to travel to science meetings

·         approximately $1,100 per month in stipend

 

The application deadline is February 1st.

 

If you'd like to discuss the possibilities or have ANY questions, PLEASE feel free to contact me via email (cjneal@email.arizona.edu). I'd be very happy to talk with you.

Caregivers Needed

 

 

COVID-19 Information:

-Workers will be required to wear provided masks 

-Anyone at high risk for COVID due to a secondary job need not apply 

 

Part-Time Female Caregiver Positions available for an OVERNIGHT shift 

 

Position involves assisting a woman with Rheumatoid Arthritis and an elderly retired pediatrician who remains smarter than anyone who may work here. The woman with arthritis is an excellent communicator and a retired therapist with a Master’s Degree. She is looking to replace a caregiver who has graduated from the UA and regularly worked nights for her for the past three years. This caregiver is leaving for a job outside the city. Another night person must leave to help family in Phoenix. The night shift is actually more of a morning position. The person arrives at 11PM then goes back to sleep waking at 6AM. The caregiver may need to get up for about an hour during the night. This position is excellent for anyone in the medical field because the applicant will receive hands-on training. Looking for intelligent, energetic, fit women. Prior experience is not needed. You will be trained on the job. Good reference. The Dean of the Medical School at UofA Phoenix called a former caregiver to say the reference provided was the most touching letter of reference she had ever read. 

To schedule an interview, call Emma at (520)-867-6679 in the morning or evening.
