Summer 2012 ORISE / CDC fellowship
This summer the Oak Ridge Institute for Science Education (ORISE) will be offering a fellowship opportunity in partnership with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. The CDC is looking for talented candidates to assist with projects associated with developing and applying new methods to characterize and quantify biochemical markers that are relevant in environmental exposures and chronic diseases. Qualified candidates will be undergraduate college students, who plan to major in biology or chemistry and have taken general biology and chemistry college-level courses.
Attached is a flyer with the project description and additional information. Please circulate this flyer to interested students at Georgia Institute of Technology. The deadline for applying is January 20, 2012. The Fellowship posting is located at http://orise.orau.gov/science-education/internships-scholarships-fellowships/description.aspx?JobId=2409 .
If you are not the best contact for this and future notices of fellowship opportunities, please let us know by responding to this email and we will be happy to update or remove your contact information from our distribution list. Thank you in advance for your support of ORISE Fellowship Programs.
Sincerely,
Michelle S. Anderson

Emory Chemistry graduate program - deadline January 3, 2012
As the application deadline for graduate programs nears, we hope you will encourage your students to consider applying to Emory's Chemistry Department. The relatively small size of our research groups fosters strong mentoring relationships between faculty and students as well as a motivating and supportive environment between the graduate students. Our highly personalized and collaborative research environment inspires undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and faculty to work together to make groundbreaking discoveries that cross disciplines and impact human experience and scientific progress. From novel drugs for fighting disease to the latest environment friendly catalysts for energy production, exploring wonders about the origin of life to paradigm shifts in computational chemistry, Emory researchers consistently make critical contributions to advance the chemical sciences.
Each admitted student receives a full tuition scholarship, 100% health insurance subsidy, and for 2011-12, students are receiving a $24,000 stipend. And the most outstanding applicants are eligible to receive competitive supplementary awards from the Chemistry Department as well as the Laney Graduate School. We hope you’ll take some time to explore our website http://chemistry.emory.edu to learn more about our faculty, facilities, and programs and to encourage your students to do the same.
Students can apply online until January 3rd at https://www.applyweb.com/apply/emorylgs/
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Best,
Sarah Peterson

Summer 2012 Research Experience for Undergraduates at Northwestern University
The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Northwestern University offers a 9-week, paid summer research experience for undergraduates. The students are paired up with some of the leading research professors in science and engineering fields. Research areas include ceramics, nanocomposites, photonics, nanoparticles, and molecular electronics. While there are many REU programs, the NU-MRSEC stands out in offering students an interdisciplinary research experience. Students currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in science or engineering who are US citizens or permanent residents are eligible. The program dates this year are June 18 to August 17, 2012; Applications are due Feb. 15, 2012. Participants are paid a $4500 stipend and a travel allowance and on-campus housing is provided. For more information, please visit our website:
