Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship Program--Summer 2018

Applications are now being accepted for the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) Program for summer 2018!

The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program provides undergraduate students an opportunity to gain research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as paid interns appointed at one of 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission. Students participate in career professional development workshops (e.g. technical and scientific writing skills development, poster, or oral presentation activities, etc.), laboratory tours, scientific lectures and seminars.

Internship appointments are 10 weeks in duration for the Summer Term (May through August). Each DOE laboratory/facility offers different research opportunities.

Eligibility:

-Full-time student status at the time of application

-U.S. Citizen or permanent resident

-Have completed one year as a matriculated student at the time of application

-Minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0

NanoSAFE REU at West Virginia University

The 2018 NSF-funded NanoSAFE REU at West Virginia University (May 21-July 27, 2018) centering on Design, Characterization, and Toxicity Assessment of Safe Advanced Performance Nanomaterials is now accepting applications from undergraduates who: 

1) are majoring in science, technology, and engineering 

2) are citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the U.S. or its territories, and 

3) are interested in nanoscience research and a training experience akin to that of a graduate student. 

Selected participants spend 10-weeks working on research on projects that address fundamental questions related to multifunctional nanomaterials. REU participants are trained on research projects that support the design of safer and more effective nanoparticles that have been characterized and assessed for potential toxicity.  The research activities focus on multifunctional nanomaterials and support improved material design with attention to properties that impact human and environmental health.  Students have access to cutting-edge technology in nanolithography, nanotemplating, material self-assembly, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy, fluidics, and unique tools required to elucidate complex facets of nanotoxicity. Upon completing this REU experience, undergraduate students will actively contribute to innovative research that advances nanotechnology manufacturing.  

Students applying to this program have come from an array of disciplines (i.e., Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biology, Engineering, Health Sciences).  

Program benefits include $5,000 stipend, lodging, meal expenses, and travel reimbursement to/from the Site. 

Early Admission Review of COMPLETED REU applications will proceed on a rolling basis from Nov 1-Dec 31, 2017. Regular review will begin Feb 3, 2018 and end upon all spots being filled.
