Summer 2008 REU Opportunities
for Minorities and Women

The University of Chicago Department of Physics invites applications for its continuing program Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities for Minorities and Women.

This University of Chicago Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Physics, supported by the National Science Foundation offers undergraduates (members of underrepresented minority groups (African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans) and women) the opportunity to gain research experience working in the laboratory or research group of a Physics Department faculty member. The program is particularly intended at encouraging participation by members of underrepresented minority groups (African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans) and women. Supplementing this valuable practical experience, faculty and graduate students present special lectures to provide an overview of the wide-ranging research conducted in our Department. Ten to fifteen internships will be awarded for the ten-week program, June 16 through August 22, 2008. The stipend for the full ten-week program will be $4,500. Housing will be provided, and there will be modest travel expense reimbursement.

Possible research areas include:

• Experimental and Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Experimental and Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics
• Non-linear Dynamics and Chaos
• Space and Cosmic Ray Physics
• Theoretical and Observational Astronomy and Astrophysics
• Experimental Atomic Physics & Ultracold Atoms
• Experimental Biophysics

Projects and participants from summer 2007 REU program

Eligibility:
Participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are enrolled in (but not yet graduated from) an accredited undergraduate college degree program with a concentration in physics or related engineering field.
