Emory Chemistry graduate program - deadline January 3, 2012

As the application deadline for graduate programs nears, we hope you will encourage your students to consider applying to Emory's Chemistry Department. The relatively small size of our research groups fosters strong mentoring relationships between faculty and students as well as a motivating and supportive environment between the graduate students. Our highly personalized and collaborative research environment inspires undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and faculty to work together to make groundbreaking discoveries that cross disciplines and impact human experience and scientific progress. From novel drugs for fighting disease to the latest environment friendly catalysts for energy production, exploring wonders about the origin of life to paradigm shifts in computational chemistry, Emory researchers consistently make critical contributions to advance the chemical sciences.

Each admitted student receives a full tuition scholarship, 100% health insurance subsidy, and for 2011-12, students are receiving a $24,000 stipend. And the most outstanding applicants are eligible to receive competitive supplementary awards from the Chemistry Department as well as the Laney Graduate School.

ENGL 1102 for Science Majors - Spring 2012

One section of ENGL 1102 has been reserved exclusively for students in the College of Sciences because of its specialized content. Currently, 19 seats remain in the class, so please notify your students. Here are the details:

ENGL 1102 G2
22670
MWF 12:05-12:55
Michael Tondre
368 Skiles

Course Description: During the nineteenth century in Britain, the sciences did not exist as a separate sphere of knowledge, but as parts of a broader intellectual landscape. Journals like Household Words and The Cornhill Magazine carried scientific articles alongside poetry, fiction, and political reports, while scientists like Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell gave public lectures attended by novelists, natural philosophers, and politicians alike. The nation as a whole was tied together though a vast network of railway lines and telegraphic wires. Science not only helped to shape the mainstream; in many respects, it was the mainstream. The ways in which scientists sought to produce knowledge about the world, and their relationship to the work of popular novelists, will be central to our purposes in this class. How can we read scientific documents closely alongside literary ones? In what ways did the writings of Charles Darwin resonate with those by George Eliot or Charles Dickens, who constructed parallel "plots" of identity and inheritance? Certainly we will examine how scientific ideas influenced literature, and vice versa. But our greater goal, here, will be to re-think the vey boundaries between science and literature, texts and contexts, fiction and fact.

Best wishes,

Shannon

SMART Scholarship Program - DoD 2011

I write to make you aware of a tremendous scholarship-for-service opportunity for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students and to request that you encourage your best students to apply to the SMART Scholarship Program. This is a highly-selective, prestigious, national program that fully supports their education, including full tuition, a very generous stipend, book allowance, and Summer internship, while they are in school, and then provides guaranteed employment with the Defense Department upon graduation.

The Science, Mathematics, And Research for Transformation (SMART) scholarship-for-service Program fully funds undergraduate and graduate degrees in a wide range of technical areas, including all fields of engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and Mathematics.

A SMART brochure and a poster are attached and the application web page is at www.asee.org/SMART. The application deadline is December 1, 2011 for the 2012 school year. SMART provides:

· Full Tuition – to any accredited U.S. University
· A very generous stipend while in school
- $25,000 for undergraduates
- $33,000 for masters candidates
- $36,300 to $41,800 for doctoral candidates
· Book allowance – $1,000
· Health Insurance
· Paid Summer internships
· All required student fees
· Travel for internships

Summer internships at Labs are required. In return for fully funding their education, students are required work as a civilian employee at a Service (Army, Navy, Air Force) or DoD Agency (NSA, DIA, DARPA, etc.) laboratory, or other research and development activity for a period equal to the time the program paid for their school. Students must be U.S. Citizens, able to obtain a DoD Security Clearance, and be willing to work as a civilian in the DoD upon graduation.

There will be approximately 300 new awards this year. A list of SMART awards from previous years is listed by University at: http://smart.asee.org/schools/scholar_directory

While Georgia Tech is one of the top schools in terms of the number of SMART recipients, I think we can greatly increase the number of your students supported in this program. I would appreciate your help in disseminating this information to your students, faculty, undergraduate advisors, and graduate coordinators, and by encouraging your best students to apply for this tremendous opportunity.

Please direct your interested students to: www.asee.org/SMART. There are links to the application portal and other program related information. Additional applicant and SMART related questions for students can be answered via:
Email: smart@asee.org

Summer Research in German - 2012

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce that for summer 2012 we will again offer three internship programs: RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering), RISE professional and RISE worldwide. RISE has established itself as an outstanding opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study-abroad experience. All three programs are targeted to students from the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences (geology) and related disciplines.

RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students in a unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into hands-on lab work and a built-in social network with an excellent opportunity to develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a scholarship to cover living expenses. To learn more about RISE, please visit: www.daad.de/rise/en or email: rise@daad.de.



RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a well-known German company, where they gain insight into the professional applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills. Internships can last from one-and-a-half to six months. Similar to RISE, this program features a scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration is currently available. To learn more about RISE professional, please visit: www.daad.de/rise-pro/en or email: rise-pro@daad.de.



Online registration and the internship database for RISE and RISE professional open on December 6th. The application deadline for both programs is January 31, 2012.



Also continuing this year is RISE worldwide. German students in the early stages of their studies who have the ambition to work abroad and gain hands-on research experience in their fields will be matched with researchers worldwide who wish to engage in a meaningful cooperation with a young German scholar. These German interns receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel costs. Participating hosts receive invaluable assistance with their own work-they profit both professionally and personally from contact with the intern, having the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the culture, lifestyle and higher education system in Germany.



Research groups interested in hosting a German research assistant in the summer of 2012 are invited to participate in RISE worldwide and to submit project proposals at:

www.daad.de/rise-weltweit/en. The time-frame for the submission of project proposals has already begun and will close on November 27, 2011.


We hope you can publicize all three opportunities! Brochures may be ordered at www.daad.org/page/publications/.
