Opportunity Description:

The Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology, through support from the National Science Foundation, hosts a Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) and Research Experience for Veterans (REV) program focused on Sustainable Nanotechnology. The programs operate in parallel with similar structures. Selected participants will spend 10 weeks conducting research in collaboration with one more principal investigators of the NSF Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology. Each student will be located at one of the participating institutions but will interact with faculty and students at all institutions via in-person and online interactions.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Faculty-led seminars on various topics in sustainability and nanotechnology; tutorials on applying to, surviving, and excelling in graduate school; presentation of your research; social activities with other summer researchers; training in cross-disciplinary research linking chemistry with biological science and materials science, and direct interaction with faculty mentors. Students in the REV program participate in additional activities specific to their needs and interests.

Program includes: $6,000 stipend, housing & meals, travel expenses to and from host institution, and travel expenses to and from the University of Minnesota for an orientation meeting at the beginning of the summer.
