OBJECTIVES:  Students in this program work closely with the
faculty and other researchers on exciting projects in the areas of
liquid crystals, materials (biomaterials & nanomaterials) and
biological membranes. In addition to working in the lab, participants
of the REU program are also given the opportunity to take part in a
number of social events, ranging from sporting and cultural events to
canoe trips.  Research is concentrated in the following
categories: Liquid Crystals; Materials Science; Nanomaterials;
Biomaterials; and, Biomembranes.

ELIGIBILITY
Undergraduate students must be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents.

FUNDING
Students will receive a stipend of $5,000; free room and board in
the Centennial Court Dormitories for non-KSU students; and travel
assistance for non-KSU students. In addition, a child-care facility is
available on-campus. Subsistence for daycare can be provided upon
request. (sch)

The University of Kentucky is pleased to announce our 2015 NSF-REU in Engineered Bioactive Interfaces and Devices (May 26 – July 31, 2015).

The program, which is in its seventh year, provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to learn about graduate school through workshops, seminars and panel discussions and also provides them with a multidisciplinary research opportunity across various disciplines including engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, and anatomy & neurobiology.   We would appreciate it if you would forward this email along with the flyer to your undergraduate students.  Preference will be given to rising juniors and seniors.

For more information see:  http://nsfreu.engr.uky.edu/   or contact Ms. Marlene Spurlock (Marlene.Spurlock@uky.edu).

The Department of Chemical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site focused on the Integration of Biology and Materials May 26-July 31, 2015.  This REU program will provide a 10 week collaborative research experience for undergraduate students aimed at advancing the field and applications of biomolecular materials.  Projects will span a variety of topics including design of biomaterials, control of living-nonliving interfaces, and development of processes for effective recovery of biomolecules.  In addition to the hands-on research experience, students will participate in a variety of technical and social activities including seminars, facilities tours, and visits to local attractions.  Interactions with three other REU sites at Penn State and a focus on collaborative work in teams will provide social, research and personal growth opportunities beyond the research project work. Undergraduate students in Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, Biology, Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics or related majors currently enrolled at US institutions are encouraged to apply.  More information regarding this REU program and an online application can be found at: http://www.che.psu.edu/reu/

Program dates: May 26– July 31, 2015

Award includes: $4,500 stipend, up to $1,700 for on-campus housing, and up to $350 for travel (for non-PA students only).

Selection and eligibility: Selection for this program is based on the applicant’s academic standing, a brief statement of interest, and one reference letter from a faculty member. US citizenship or permanent residence status is required. Please see the online application: http://www.che.psu.edu/reu/apply.htm

Application deadline: March 1, 2015.  Admissions will be on a rolling basis so apply early.  Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, and applicants are encouraged to submit their materials before the deadline to receive full consideration.
