Summer research 2013 - UAB

NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates  at UAB in Experimental and Computational Materials Research

I would appreciate your help again this year in spreading the word about our NSF Sponsored 2013 Research Experience for Undergraduate.  Please forward this message to your undergraduate students in the sciences:
More information and application can be found at:  https://www.uab.edu/cnmb/research-experiences-for-undergraduates
The program dates are May 20 to Jul 26, 2013. The application deadline is March 15 2012, but you should consider getting your documentation in place early, including securing letters of recommendation from faculty. Decisions will be made no later than April 1, 2012.
Quoting from the letter I received, "The research projects include, but are not limited to, high pressure materials research, thin film growth and characterization,  microelectronic materials, nano-materials, laser materials, bioceramics and biopolymers, planetary materials, modeling of gas phase chemistry and surfaces in materials growth, and computer simulation of materials."
The REU program will pay a $4,000 stipend for the ten weeks period, plus additional support for housing, travel and other expenses. If you have questions about logistics, housing, and travel arrangements, please contact Charita Cadenhead <charita@uab.edu> or by phone at (205)975-8076.
Thank you so much for your passing this along.  Last year, we had the best response EVER.
