Paid Summer Research Position at University of Illinois

This position will focus on nanotechnology but students do not need to have a background in this area; all students pursuing science/engineering/math degrees are eligible to apply.

Eligible students include:

-Science and Engineering majors
-Underclassmen
-US Citizens or Permanent Residents

Program Details:

Location: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign at the Center for Nanoscale Chemical-Electrical-Mechanical Manufacturing Systems (or Nano-CEMMS)

Nano-CEMMS is an interdisciplinary research center funded by the National Science Foundation that focuses on nanotechnology. (*Please note, to be eligible for the program, students do not need to have any background in nanotechnology.)

Dates: May 24th through July 30th

Stipend: $5,375 (this includes an hourly wage of $12/hour-not $10/hr as it says on the website-plus $500 to be put towards housing)
All students will live in apartment-style housing on campus that has been reserved

-The online application can be found at the following website:
http://www.nano-cemms.uiuc.edu/content/education/reu.php
-The application deadline is February 15th

The online application is fairly short and straightforward, but students can let me know if they have any questions. In terms of what research they would like to perform this summer, there is not a list of projects to choose from. Applicants should take a look at our website and visit some of the research websites of our affiliated professors and mention which areas are of interest to them. Once an application has been submitted, students will receive a confirmation e-mail with a link to an online evaluation; this should be passed along to someone who will serve as a reference. Once this is done, the application will be complete.


 If you have any questions, please contact the Nano-CEMMS Managing Director at pkroha@illinois.edu
