Research Experiences for Undergraduates
With support from the National Science Foundation and the
University of Florida,
we will offer a 10-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(REU) program, provisionally set to run from May 27 through July 31, 2008.
Fifteen 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.
All places in the Summer 2008 program have been filled.
We expect to begin accepting applications for Summer 2009 in December 2008.
Undergraduate participants will receive a $4,600 stipend
and an allowance for travel to/from Gainesville, FL.
Housing is provided on campus, a short walk from the Physics
Department.
Each participant has his/her own private bedroom in an apartment shared
with up to three other REU students.
Students from a number of other summer programs are accommodated in the
same facility, offering varied and stimulating social interactions.
Weekends during the program are 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,
Kevin Ingersent.
