Dear Colleagues,
We could use your help in
identifying candidates for the 2014 Nano REU Site described below. Please feel
free to forward this email and its attachment to friends, colleagues, and
undergraduate STEM students. Your help in informing students of this
opportunity and/or recommending students is greatly appreciated. Please let me
know if you have any questions or would like further information.
Nano REU (Research
Experience for Undergraduates)
The Nano REU program at West
Virginia University (WVU) will run from May 19-July 25, 2014. This program is
in its eighth year. The research focus is nanotechnology with applications to
early disease detection, biometrics, and energy efficiency. Applicants should
be rising sophomore, junior, or senior undergraduates students majoring in
science, engineering, or mathematics. Underrepresented minorities, women,
persons with disabilities and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces from primarily
undergraduate institutions in WV and the Appalachian region are especially
encouraged to apply. Participants receive $5,000 stipend + room and board for
10-weeks of research in WVU faculty research labs. Review of applications will
begin on/after Feb. 14, 2014. More information (see attached flier) about the
Nano REU program and an online application can be found at http://nanosafe.wvu.edu/education/undergraduate-programs/reu.
