REU Summer Research Program in the Energy Sciences

Beginning May 21st 2007, 10-week program

 

    The University of Wyoming Department of Chemistry is hosting our 9th REU Summer Research Program in the Energy Sciences for outstanding undergraduate students majoring in the chemical sciences. This program offers students an opportunity to pursue a faculty-directed independent research project and to participate fully as a member of an active research group.

    Students participate in seminars on current research topics, professional development workshops, and present their own research projects at a symposium attended by faculty and students from the University of Wyoming and faculty mentors from the participants' home institutions (partial travel support will be available for the faculty mentors).

  • $3,500 Stipend
  • Travel and housing allowances
  • Course Credit available

    All undergraduate students with a strong record in chemistry are encouraged to apply. Members of minority groups who are under-represented in chemistry are especially encouraged to apply; these applications, particularly those from Native Americans, will be given special consideration. No previous research experience is required.

    Applicants must

  • have a minimum of two years of college chemistry, including Organic chemistry
  • must be United States Citizens
  • cannot be graduating seniors

    The deadline for all application materials has been extended to April 20. To apply submit an email to Dr. David Anderson.  Materials needed to formalize your application include: first choice of a faculty mentor (see list below), unofficial transcripts, and a letter of nomination from a faculty member familiar with your academic or research abilities.
