Undergraduate Summer Research Program

Dear Professor Chapman, Are your students looking for summer research opportunities? Please post, forward, or tell your students about the 2015 Nebraska Summer Research Program housed on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  The program offers students an excellent opportunity to hone research skills and to experience life as a graduate student. Students will enhance their academic resume, work closely with faculty and peers, and have fun with social and professional development activities, all while receiving numerous benefits. Students historically underrepresented in graduate education are especially encouraged to apply. Due to funding restrictions, participation is limited to U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents (those holding a green card.) All programs for 2015 are listed at http://www.unl.edu/summerprogram and include projects in Applied Mathematics, Biochemistry, Bioenergy Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Microbiology, Minority Health Disparities, Nanotechnology, Optics and Laser Physics, Redox Biology, and Virology. Our online application makes it easy for students to apply. Priority review of applications begins Monday, February 2 and all applications are due by Monday, March 2. Thank you for your assistance in disseminating this information. Best regards, Maggie Jobes Summer Research Program Director Assistant Director of Graduate Recruitment  Office of Graduate Studies University of Nebraska–Lincoln
