University of Michigan REU in the Chemical Sciences
We generally receive about 250 applications for our program each year. You will receive an automatic notification when you submit your application, along with a file number to give your recommenders. If you do not hear from us, you may assume that your application is complete. We will contact individuals whose files are incomplete.
REU Projects: are available in all subject areas. Please see the Chemistry department website for general areas of faculty interests. You may assume that every member of the faculty is interested in hosting an REU student.
In addition to a research project, there will be other activities, including field trips, meetings of all our summer students, weekly group meetings, and a poster session.
Notice to European students participating in the NSF/ACS/DAAD/ECTN program: We are excited to welcome your application to spend the summer in Ann Arbor. Please indicate your interest in the University of Michigan's REU program to host your visit to the US when you apply through the ACS site: www.acs.org/ireu.
All REU Fellowships include: $4000 stipend, housing, and travel. All students receive internet access to their existing home university/college e-mail account. You should ensure that you are covered by an appropriate health insurance policy in order to participate in a summer research program.
For questions, contact Prof. Brian P. Coppola, Program Director: bcoppola@umich.edu
Selection of participants:
Offers are made via e-mail only.
Only the selected and accepted applicants will be announced. Because of the large number of applications we receive, we do not contact applicants who have not been accepted to the program.
We use a rolling acceptance, and make offers to a greater number of students than we have spots for because many students have applied to multiple schools. Under no circumstance should you accept an offer from an REU program unless you are committed to that program. When you say 'yes' to a position in a professional setting, you should mean it.
In general, you have a week or two to make up your mind. By all means, you should contact other programs to which you have applied with this offer, if you have decided there are programs whose offer you will take over ours.
Call for Applications: 2012 National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Loyola University Chicago
May 29 to August 3, 2012
Undergraduates interested in research are invited to apply for our 2012 NSF-REU program in Chemistry and Biochemistry. The REU student participants will work closely with a faculty mentor, while interacting with other faculty, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, other undergraduate research students and each other. The research projects span a wide range of disciplines across the Chemistry Department, including bio-inorganic, bio-analytical and biochemistry, computational chemistry, physical chemistry, organic synthesis and environmental studies. The faculty mentors treat the student participants as research colleagues, with the expectation that the summer research project will lead to a publication and be presented at scientific meetings.
Since oral and written communication skills are vital, the REU program will conclude with a Student Symposium in which each student will give a poster presentation and also submit a written report describing their results. Weekly presentations by faculty will introduce the students to a wide range of research areas, expanding their understanding of the relevance of chemistry to real-world problems. Other topics for the weekly seminars will include the graduate school application process, employment opportunities in chemical industry and how industrial research differs from an academic setting. The overall goal is to develop a vibrant intellectual community of chemistry scholars that provides a network of support for their continued involvement in research.
Undergraduate researchers will receive a stipend of $4,500 plus a $2,000 housing allowance for the 10-week program. In addition there is a $500 travel allowance to attend a scientific meeting within the next academic year.
Applications will be due March 1, with students notified of their acceptance by late March. You should select your preferred mentor(s) at the time of application. The 10-week REU program will start on late May.
A number of non-research activities will also be available, including trips to the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum of Natural History and the Taste of Chicago food festival. Other social events will be scheduled according to student interests, such as a Chicago Cubs baseball game or a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago.
