<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dear Organization, and Prospective/Former
Science Interns,<br>
<br>
I am recruiting<font color="#0000FF"><b> science
undergraduates</b></font> for the<font color="#008000"><b> Research
Experience for Undergraduates (REU</b>)</font> and<font
color="#FF0000"><b> Materials Research Experience for Minority
Undergraduates</b></font><font color="#008000"> Program</font>
at<font color="#800080"><i><b> Northwestern University
(NU)</b></i></font>. The Program targets undergraduate materials
science, chemistry, physics, and engineering majors in the United
States. It begins at the end of June and runs for 9 weeks. Each
participant receives a<font color="#000080"><b> stipend of
$4,000</b></font> for full participation in the program.<br>
<br>
<font color="#008000"><i><b>We also offer a summer research program
for</b></i></font><font color="#FF0000"><i><b> science teachers and
professors</b></i></font><font color="#008000"><i><b> -- see below.
*<br>
<br>
</b></i></font>Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the<b>
Materials Research Science & Engineering Center</b> houses a group
of outstanding faculty, who do a variety of research within their
smaller interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs). REU/MRI interns will
have the opportunity to select a project from one of these groups and
work closely with a faculty mentor and graduate student or post
doctoral fellow. Former interns have really benefited from their
summer experience at NU and receive excellent recommendations from
faculty members for jobs or applications to graduate school, and some
participants have even published their research.<br>
<br>
Typically, we process all of the applications about two weeks after
the deadline. We have a rolling admissions; therefore, outstanding
applicants may be notified before the deadline.<br>
<br>
<b>For more information about the Program and our Center, please visit
