We are now accepting applications for the Summer 2010 Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, which will run from June 1 through August 6. In order to receive fullest consideration, all application materials should arrive by February 15, 2010.

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.

Undergraduate participants will receive a $4,800 stipend and an allowance for travel to/from Gainesville, FL. Housing will be provided on campus, a short walk from the Physics Department. Each participant will have his/her own private bedroom in an apartment shared with up to three other REU students. Students from a number of other summer programs will be accommodated in the same facility, offering varied and stimulating social interactions. 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.
