Rice
University is now accepting applications for the 2013
NanoJapan:
International Research Experience for Undergraduates
program.
Generously supported by an NSF Partnerships for International
Research &
Education (NSF-PIRE) grant, this summer program seeks to
cultivate
interest in nanotechnology among young U.S. undergraduate
students,
especially those from underrepresented groups, and encourages
such
students to pursue graduate study and academic research in the
physical
sciences.
Recognized by the National Academy of Engineering
and the Institute of
International Education's Heiskell Award as a model for
international
education programs for science and engineering students,
NanoJapan will
provide U.S. undergraduates with structured research
opportunities in
Japanese university laboratories with Japanese mentors
focused on the
study of THz dynamics of nanostructures.
Eligible
students from any university nationwide are eligible to apply and
the program
is well-suited to engineering or physics students with a keen
interest in
this area of nanotechnology research.
