Description:
The LRSM will offer up to twenty Summer Research Fellowships to undergraduates from colleges and universities in the United States who are majoring in science or engineering. Each will work under the supervision of a faculty member on a current materials research project in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biophysics, materials science, or engineering. Summer Fellows will have access to all the research facilities of the LRSM and other laboratories, as required. The program will not only provide an authentic laboratory research experience but also workshops (mandatory and optional) focused on professional development in broader scientific and career skills. Fellows will be expected to fully participate in all REU related activities including 2 oral presentations before the end of the summer period.

The program runs from late May to early August every year. All undergraduate students currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in a STEM field are eligible to apply (note, seniors who are graduating before the program begins are ineligible) BUT, the program is restricted to US citizens and permanent residents. Students should apply through our on-line application form.
