University of Iowa - Nano REU program - summer 2022

 

We are excited to announce that our 2022 NSF REU Program in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Iowa is now accepting applications. We are planning an in-person program on campus from May 30 -July 29, 2022.  Applications review will begin on February 11, 2022, so interested students are encouraged to submit their application materials by this date.  Please see our website for more information: https://nanotech.uiowa.edu/education/nano-reu-program

 

We can use your help in forwarding this summer research experience information to undergraduate students majoring in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pre-Pharmacy and related areas.

 

The goals and objectives of our summer REU program are:

(1)    To establish a stimulating research program for undergraduates to participate in a research project focused on the interdisciplinary area of nanoscience and nanotechnology under the direction of a faculty mentor. 

(2)    To help undergraduate students develop strong nanoscience research and scientific communications skills and to integrate laboratory safety scientific and ethics into their everyday research activities.

(3)    To encourage the participation of students who have limited research opportunities and students from underrepresented groups (including women in engineering) through vigorous recruiting efforts.

(4)    To encourage REU participants to pursue graduate studies by informing them of opportunities for graduate study and application procedures.

 

Our REU students’ summer research experience will culminate in their poster participation in a university-wide undergraduate research symposium.  See the attached flyer for more information and links to our website (copied above) or send us an email at nano@uiowa.edu.

 

Thank you!

I am reaching out to inform you that we are now accepting applications for the summer 2022 NSF REU program in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at Vanderbilt University. The application deadline is February 15^th.  The Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE) focuses on interdisciplinary nanoscale research at the interface of chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. More than 40 faculty participants from the School of Engineering, College of Arts and Science, and the School of Medicine inspire students by creating an atmosphere of excitement and creativity. Each REU participant will work directly with VINSE faculty members and their research groups and be part of the larger VINSE community.

 

The VINSE REU has a record of success, 76% of former VINSE NSF REU students attend graduate school and have received several awards and honors including:

 

• 18 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships (another 7 received honorable mentions)
• 6 Goldwater Fellowships
• 3 SMART Fellowships
• 1 Gates Cambridge Fellowship
• 1 NASA Graduate Fellowship
• 3 NIH Awards: 1 Graduate Fellowship, 1 Postbac ITRA, 1 Oxford-Cambridge Scholar
• >40% of former REU students have (or are expected to) co-author a journal publication
• More than half of our former REU students have given a presentation outside the REU program including 26 at National Conferences funded by the REU site

 

PROGRAM INCLUDES

• Hands-on research in state-of-the-art facilities
• Seminars, workshops, and field trips
• Group social activities and banquet
• Optional outreach opportunities to high school students

 

ELIGIBILITY

• Undergraduate students majoring in science or engineering
• U.S. Citizen or permanent resident
• Minorities and women strongly encouraged to apply

 

AWARD

• $5,000 stipend
• $500 travel allowance
• Room and board

 

We would like to make this opportunity available to your students at all stages of the undergraduate careers and from all institutions, including community colleges. We would appreciate if you would forward them this information.  Please visit: https://www.vanderbilt.edu/vinse/reu/ for more information or to apply.

REU Aquatic Chemical Ecology at Georgia Tech

 

Like last year, we are planning for an in-person experience in summer 2022! Our application portal opens November 1st. We invite you to apply. Contact us with any questions you may have

Co-directors Brian Hammer and Martial Taillefert

Students from the REU program in Aquatic Chemical Ecology join a few peers from other College of Science REUs at our 2021 capstone poster session.

The Program

Aquatic Chemical Ecology (ACE) at Georgia Tech is a summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program. ACE at Georgia Tech gives you the opportunity to perform exciting research with our faculty in the schools of Biological Sciences, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. You'll participate in research with one or more of our faculty, learn about careers in science and engineering, and see how scientists blend knowledge and skills from physics, chemistry and biology to investigate some of the most challenging problems in environmental sciences. We encourage applications from undergraduate students who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S., especially attending universities other than Georgia Tech. The following three areas comprise the research activities covered by faculty in the Aquatic Chemical Ecology program: 

• Area 1. Biological and geochemical transformations of chemicals in aquatic ecosystems.
• Area 2. Sensory biology and ecology of aquatic chemical communication.
• Area 3. Ecological roles and consequences of chemicals in aquatic environments.

Overview

Our ACE NSF-sponsored summer research program places you with a faculty mentor for a 10-week summer period spanning from Sunday May 22nd, 2022 to Friday, July 29th, 2022. You'll design a research project, carry it out and present the results to the professors and students in a final symposium. You will receive a stipend amount of $7000. To live on campus safely, you will also be provided an individual bedroom with shared kitchen facilities in an environment that is structured based on CDC, state and federal guidelines regarding social distancing, face covering, on-campus surveillance testing​, and vaccinations. Your summer cohort will engage in activities specific to ACE, but also interact and be co-housed with participants in five other College of Sciences REU programs.

Our ACE faculty (in Civil & Environmental Engineering, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Biological Sciences) form a core group with a strong history of working together on joint research grants in this area, with the skills required to guide undergraduates in basic and applied research on multiple phases of chemical signaling processes.
