Subject: Dartmouth College Research Opportunity for Undergraduates in
Nanomaterials

Please post this notice for your undergraduate students and forward to
appropriate faculty regarding the 2009 REU program in Nanomaterials and
Nanotechnology at Dartmouth College.

The program is funded by the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates
program
and the Department of Defense ASSURE program to support ten physics,
engineering, and chemistry students to participate in current research at
the
Center for Nanomaterials Research at Dartmouth.

Additional information, including application forms and further details
about  
the program are available
on-line at http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/nanomaterials by clicking on the
"summer program" link.  The March 13th deadline is quickly approaching, so
be
sure to contact nanomaterials at dartmouth.edu for more information.

Through the program, undergraduates work for nine weeks with faculty in
state-of-the-art facilities on independent research projects in
nanomaterials
and nanotechnology. Weekly discussion sessions and trips to regional
research
labs are included.  Participants receive a stipend of $4,050 and on-campus
housing is provided.  In addition, participants receive a lab supply budget
and are reimbursed for up to $700 for travel from their home institution to
attend the program.  The program concludes with a public poster session
where
the students present their research.  When not in the lab, the Connecticut
River
area offers a large variety of activities; from hiking, canoeing and biking
to
world-class performances at the Hopkins Center.  Access to college athletic
facilities and the nine campus libraries are provided to the program
participants.

In particular, minorities and women are encouraged to apply.

If you have any questions about our program, please do not hesitate to call
or
email me.

Sincerely,

Tracy Rounds
