2008 Program Dates are May 27 through August 8
The Materials Science and Engineering
Laboratory (MSEL) at the National Institute of Standards
and Technology offers a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
program. This program is designed to provide hands-on research experience in Ceramics,
Metallurgy, Polymers, Condensed Matter Science, and Materials Reliability.
As part of the MSEL program, opportunities are also available at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), a premiere user facility in the nation for probing the structure and dynamics
of materials with cold and thermal neutrons. Available research opportunities in the MSEL/NCNR program include:
Further information on many of these opportunities can be obtained by looking at the descriptions of ongoing research in MSEL and NCNR research given by the National Research Council in their announcement of the NRC postdoctoral research associate program at NIST (then click on National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)), as well as the NIST publication Guide to NIST.
The Fellowship will include a $4,000 stipend for the 11 week period, in addition to travel and housing allowances. Applications must be submitted by the school; e.g., by a faculty member or other appropriate administrative staff.
In addition to "SURFing the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory/Center for Neutron Research" program there is also a SURF program in each of the other NIST Laboratories (PL, MEL, BFRL, EEEL, ITL, CSTL). Check out their web pages as well! Also check out the Main NIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) homepage.
