Posted by Garrett Lew in : Announcements,Research , trackbackSummer Research Program for students majoring in science, mathematics an engineering: You are invited to participate in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Gaithersburg, MD Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program for students majoring in science, mathematics and engineering. Students can participate in any one of the nine NIST laboratories:
- Building and Fire Research
- Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology
- Chemical Science and Technology
- Electronics and Electrical Engineering
- Information Technology
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Materials Science & Engineering
- NIST Center for Neutron Research
- Physics
The student application form should indicate in which laboratory he/she is most interested. The applications will be considered by the student’s first choice, then second choice and finally by all programs, with consideration of the student’s preferences and research interests.SURFing is a partnership, supported by NIST, NSF, and the participating colleges/universities. We anticipate providing meaningful research opportunities for approximately 25 SURFers in the Physics Laboratory (PL) and the Materials Science & Engineering & NIST Center for Neutron Research Laboratories, and 10-15 in each of the other Laboratories. The NIST facilities are located just outside Washington, DC.The SURF Program is anticipated to run between May 26 – August 7, 2009.Further information for individual Laboratories can be found through the website http://www.surf.nist.gov/respr.htm. The Application Package is available here: http://www.surf.nist.gov/app.htm. You will find a list of frequently asked questions here: http://www.surf.nist.gov/faqs.htm.Important note for NYU Applicants: Applications for participation in the SURF program are only accepted from colleges or universities, and not from individual students. Please email Dr. Ruth Shoemaker Wood, Assistant Dean for Students (ruth.wood@nyu.edu) by Monday, Feb. 2 if you intend to apply for this program. A complete application should be submitted electronically to Dr. Wood (including letters of recommendation from faculty which should be emailed directly to Dr. Wood) by Monday, February 9.Ruth Shoemaker Wood, Ph.D.Assistant Dean for StudentsNew York UniversityCollege of Arts and Science100 Washington Square East, 909B, New York, New York 10003 212.998.8131 (office) 212.995.4545 (fax)
