schoolarships - Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) | Department of Physics Welcome to the Georgetown REU Site in Materials Physics! Undergraduate students are invited to apply for a 10-week summer research program to engage in a focused research project in materials physics, working closely with a faculty mentor and other researchers. Taking advantage of Georgetown's location in the nation's capital, this REU program will also feature a science-and-society component to encourage students to explore the connection between scientific research and the world outside the laboratory. Research Projects in Materials Physics Projects include experimental, computational, and theoretical work in nanoscale physics, soft matter, device physics, biophysics, and cold-atom systems. Science and Society Activities Many of the grand challenges facing society today have a significant scientific component. Dates The 10-week program will start on May 27, 2014 and end on August 1, 2014. Application A complete application includes Online application form.
Finances schoolarships - SPS Internships Mather Policy Internships Nobel Laureate Supports Congressional Internships in Partnership with SPS John C. Mather, who shared the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics for his precise measurements of the primordial heat radiation of the Big Bang, has turned his sights to a more Earthly ambition. The John and Jane Mather Foundation for Science and the Arts and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) have created the Mather Policy Intern Program, an endowed program that sends two undergraduate physics majors to Washington, DC, each summer where they will spend their break working in Congress or in other government offices where policy is formulated. "The aim of the program is to promote awareness of policy process among young scientists by directly engaging them in the work that goes on in the federal government—work that is today as exciting as in any time in the past," explained Fred Dylla, Executive Director of AIP.

Majors schoolarships - REU - Research Experience for Undergraduates // Department of Physics // University of Notre Dame Research Experience for Undergraduates 2014 (ND REU) The University of Notre Dame's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program, which celebrated 25 years in 2011, provides opportunities for undergraduate physics majors to experience hands-on participation in research in many areas of physics. Students are granted stipends, university housing, and assistance with travel and food expenses. Basically, this means that if you are a rising junior or senior, you can come to Notre Dame and work with a professor for ten weeks. Students will work closely with faculty and graduate students on a variety of current research projects. The program is available only to U.S. citizens or permanent residents unless tuition/support has been arranged through your university or another organization. 2014 Program Details 2014 REU Application Deadline and Program Dates Application Deadline: February 22, 2014 Program Dates: May 26 (arrival) to August 2 (departure) Contact Information
