REU Internship at the University of Akron

by at

Applications are still open for the 2022 summer research experience for the School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron internship. This competitive program is sponsored by the National Research Foundation, the University of Akron, and corporate sponsors.

The program will take place over the course of 9 weeks, during which students will investigate a fundamental question within the broad disciplines of polymer science and polymer engineering. This includes chemistry, physics, characterization, and biomaterials. Interns will take part in research and career development activities, discussions outlining their research progress, and visits to regional companies. The program will come to a close with an oral or poster presentation of the intern’s research results at the Northeast Ohio NSF-REU Undergraduate Research Conference.

Support includes a $5,400 stipend and on campus housing.

The program will run from Monday, June 6 to Friday, August 5.

The deadline to apply is Friday, February 11, 2022. Further information such as how to apply and eligibility can be found here.

Rosetta Commons Internship

by at

Rosetta Commons is a consortium of researchers who develop software to understand, predict, and design biomolecules including proteins and nucleic acids. The Commons includes over 300 developers from over 40 universities and labs worldwide who contribute and share the Rosetta source code.

Rosetta Commons offers internships in 15 locations. During the program, interns will:

  • Attend one week of Rosetta Code School (June 3 through June 7) where they will learn the inner details of the  Rosetta C++ code and community coding environment, so they are fully prepared for the summer
  • Complete 8 weeks of hands-on research in a molecular modeling and design laboratory, developing new algorithms and discovering new science
  • Train in biomolecular structure prediction, optimization, object oriented programming, parallel computing, databases, machine-learning, and collaborative coding
  • Engage in weekly virtual journal clubs, writing and presentation training, and an on-site partnership with a local RUE cohort
  • Finish the REU by attending the Rosetta Developers Conference in Seattle, WA

This program is supported by the National Science Foundation. Interns will receive housing, paid travel expenses, and a $5,500 stipend.

For more information about the program, eligibility, and application, view the flyer or their website.

The application opens November 10, 2018 and closes February 1, 2018.
