I am
writing to request your help in identifying undergraduate students who are
interested in a summer research experience. I hope you will encourage them to
consider applying to the 2013
Nebraska Summer Research Program.
Nebraska's
summer program offers research opportunities in the science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics fields. A complete listing of faculty mentors and
research project descriptions can be found on our website. Students can also
find information about program benefits including a competitive stipend, room
and board, travel expenses, and more.
Summer
2013 programs include:
- Applied Mathematics
- Bioenergy Systems
- Biomedical Engineering
- Chemistry
- Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
- Nanomaterials and Nanoscience
- Optics and Laser Physics
- Redox Biology
- Virology
During
the Nebraska Summer Research Program, students receive first-hand exposure to research and the experience
of graduate school. They work closely with faculty mentors and research teams of
graduate students and other summer scholars. Students also have opportunities to
participate in meaningful social and professional development activities outside
of the laboratory.
Our
online application makes it easy for students to apply. Priority review begins Friday,
February 1 and all applications are due Friday, February 15.
Students historically underrepresented in graduate education and students from
academic institutions where research programs are limited are especially
encouraged to apply.
Please
feel free to forward this to your students or to download our
flyer to post. If you or your students have questions, please feel free to
contact me directly.
In
addition to the Nebraska Summer Research Program, the Department of Chemistry is seeking
one
pair (one professor and one undergraduate student) from a
four-year college or university to participate in our Faculty/Student Pair
Program. Learn more about this program and apply at http://www.chem.unl.edu/summerresearch/. The
application deadline for this program is also Friday, February
15.
Sincerely,
Justina
