We are happy to announce the fourth year of the Illinois Research Experience for Undergraduates program, with support from NSF and the 3M Foundation. I write now to invite you to urge students to apply to come to Urbana to do summer research. We particularly seek students who have not previously conducted research, are members of underrepresented groups (including women), or are first-generation college attendees. Students who have completed coursework at the sophomore to junior level by June 1, 2014 are our intended scholarship recipients. Because of high demand for our program in prior years, neither post-freshman nor mid-year seniors will receive consideration so that the “playing field” is level.

Housing at

Sciences and the rest of the campus plus $500 to support travel to and return

You may
use any process you find appropriate for selecting students we might consider,
but we do require that students have at least two semesters of organic
chemistry lecture and laboratory. They should also be inclined to pursue
graduate studies in chemistry. Application may be made at the website http://chemistry.illinois.edu/reu/. For detailed information about
the research areas of individual faculty members, please see http://www.chemistry.illinois.edu/faculty/index.html.
Please
have students apply as soon as possible. Applications received by February 16,
2014 will receive full consideration. Given
heavy demand for our program, files incomplete at 11:59 PM on the closing date
will not be kept open for consideration.
Sincerely,
Alexander

of Chemistry. Emeritus
