REU on Sustainable Energy Technology and Systems

Johns Hopkins University’s Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) is accepting applications for the summer 2025 Research on Sustainable Energy Technology and Systems (ROSETAS) program, a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site.

ROSETAS is a 10-week, residential research and professional development program for undergraduate students interested in sustainable energy. Trainees will participate in research projects aligned with the research areas of ROSEI, specifically its four pillars of CarbonStorageWind, and Grid, as well as solar technology. Specific projects for the summer of 2025 can be found here. Applicants will be asked to rank their top three project choices on their application.

Accepted students will be provided with a $7,000 stipend and housing near the Johns Hopkins campus. The program is open to all US Citizen or permanent resident undergraduate students in any technical field who have completed at least one year of college and have not yet graduated with a bachelor’s degree.

Applications are due February 3, 2025 and require a resume, personal statement, and one letter of recommendation.

Chemistry-Biology Interface Grad Program at Johns Hopkins

The Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins University provides students with research and academic training that enables them to challenge the traditional boundaries separating chemistry from biology. Students completing the CBI program receive a Ph.D. in Chemical Biology. Previous graduates have gained employment in commercial, government and academic institutions.

The CBI Program brings together 32 faculty from the Schools of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Public Health, and Medicine at Johns Hopkins and provides a diverse selection of research projects for students. To assist them in choosing a research advisor, first year CBI students participate in three 10-week research rotations that enable them to broaden their research skills and make informed choices of research advisors.

Since its establishment in 2005, the CBI Program has received an enthusiastic response and has grown to over 35 current Ph.D. students. To date, ~15% of CBI students are from groups historically underrepresented in Chemistry and Biology. Hopkins is very interested in increasing the number of students from these backgrounds. Hopkins is a very supportive institution and Baltimore is a multi-cultural city. The University has a number of mechanisms to support minority graduate students.
