Misc:
The NanoSystems Chemistry and Engineering Research REU Program is an NSF supported 10-week summer research program for undergraduates who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. We are currently accepting applications for 2009. The program will run from June 21 through August 28, 2009 (10 weeks), and will engage physical science and engineering students in interdisciplinary team-based research, professional skills workshops and seminars. Participants will have access to sophisticated instrumentation and fabrication facilities. Benefits include a weekly stipend, on-campus housing and a travel grant to present results at a professional conference.

Applicants must have a GPA of 3.0 or greater, have completed their junior year, and clearly articulate an interest in nanotechnology in their personal statement. No previous research experience is required, and students from colleges where research opportunities are limited are especially encouraged to apply. NanoCER strives to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who continue on to doctoral study in science and engineering. Students must apply separately to BOTH the REU-NanoCER and SPUR programs. Please see the instructions on our web page for more information, http://www.cnsi.ucla.edu/reu-nanocer/app-requirements.
