Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Materials Physics
at the University of Florida
This REU Site is supported by the National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research, the Department of Defense Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Education (DoD ASSURE) program, and the University of Florida.
REU participants will conduct research in the department and take part
in group activities including seminars on cutting-edge areas of physics;
workshops focusing on graduate programs, career opportunities in the physical
sciences, and scientific communications skills;
and field trips to laboratories on and off campus.
You can get a better idea of these activities by browsing through the
information on past programs.
For the Summer 2011 program
undergraduate participants received a $4,900 stipend,
an allowance for travel to/from Gainesville, FL, and
housing was be provided.
Weekends during the program will be left open for participants to explore
the abundant attractions of North and Central Florida.
Eligibility:
REU participants must be undergraduate students
and must be citizens or legal permanent residents
of the United States or its possessions.
We especially encourage applications from members of groups
under-represented in science and engineering, and
from students enrolled at institutions where research opportunities are
limited.
For more information, please contact the Program Director,
Selman Hershfield.
