Fwd: Undergraduate Summer Research Program

Dear Professor Crider,   Are your students looking for summer research opportunities? Please post, forward, or tell your students about the 2014 Nebraska Summer Research Program housed on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.   The program offers students an excellent opportunity to hone research skills and to experience life as a graduate student. Students will enhance their academic resume, work closely with faculty and peers, and have fun with social and professional development activities, all while receiving numerous benefits. Students historically underrepresented in graduate education are especially encouraged to apply. Due to funding restrictions, participation is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.   All programs for 2014 are listed at http://www.unl.edu/summerprogram and include projects in Applied Mathematics, Bioenergy Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences/Water Resources, Minority Health Disparities, Nanohybrid Materials and Algal Biofuels, Redox Biology, and Virology.   Our online application makes it easy for students to apply. Priority review of applications begins Friday, February 1 and all applications are due by Monday, February 17.   Thank you for your assistance in disseminating this information.

Fwd: FW: Newly funded REU at Missouri!

The Office of Undergraduate Research and the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Missouri-Columbia are pleased to announce a newly funded NSF REU program in Materials and Modeling.  Please see the attached PDF for information and a student application.  Detailed information on potential projects can be found at:

 

http://physics.missouri.edu/undergraduate-program/reu/reu-projects/

 

The Deadline is March 1st, with program dates of May 27-July 26th.  10 positions are available for 2014.  The physics REU students will enjoy the benefits of participating in a larger community of summer research interns, including shared housing, educational and professional development events, and social activities.

 

Please pass this information along to appropriate faculty/students at your institution.  Thanks!

Fwd: Undergraduate Research Opportunity

 

Applications for the Amgen Scholars U.S. program have just become available online.  This program provides undergraduate students with faculty-mentored summer research opportunities in science and engineering fields.  You can learn more about this opportunity by reading the program flyer or you can access eligibility requirements, site specific information, and applications at http://www.amgenscholars.com.  If you have students that might be interested in this opportunity, please encourage them to apply.

Fwd: Yale Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program | February 1 deadline

Dear Colleague, 

I am writing to ask for your assistance in spreading the word out about an excellent summer research opportunity for your undergraduates. The Yale CRISP REU program will once again be funding REU fellowships (residential and non-residential) at Yale University in New Haven, CT for the summer of 2014. 

 
The deadline for applications is February 1, 2014.  Please post and/or forward to the appropriate individual(s) in your Department and/or Institution.

The application information can be found at: http://www.crisp.yale.edu/index.php/Reu

Here are the links to our informational flyers if you wish to print and post it for your students:

Residential REU program | 2014  Flyer

Non-Residential REU program | 2014 Flyer

_________________________________________________________________

The CRISP Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) program.

The goal of the CRISP REU program is to offer high-quality, state-of-the-art research experiences, enrichment activities and professional development events to undergraduates. Current research topics range from thin film growth and characterization to friction and manipulation at the atomic level with projects involving computation, simulation, fabrication, characterization and image processing. Materials systems included semiconductors, dielectrics, optical materials and bio-materials.

Program Dates June 2 - July 28, 2014

Application Candidates must apply directly to the Yale SURF program through the Leadership Alliance Summer Research-Early Identification Program starting November 01, 2013. Students must also complete the supplementary application for CRISP to indicate interest. The entire application package, including two letters of recommendation and official transcript(s), must be received by February 01, 2014.
