The Department of Energy and American Chemical Society sponsored Nuclear and Radiochemistry Summer School Program is seeking curious and highly motivated students with strong science backgrounds. If selected, students receive an all-expense paid opportunity to complete a 6-week intensive summer course (June 16, 2025 – July 25, 2025) in Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistry in either California at San Jose State University or New York at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Selected students also receive a stipend of $4,000 for the 6-week program ($666/ week) and the program will pay for student travel and housing for the duration of the program. In addition, students also earn hours (tuition paid) of undergraduate chemistry credit through either San Jose State University or Stony Brook University.
The students will learn the fundamentals of nuclear chemistry and radiochemistry and their applications. A hands-on laboratory component gives the students experience in handling radioactive materials and radiation detectors. Moreover, the students will meet scientists from academia and national laboratories from across the U.S. who will discuss the exciting opportunities in nuclear chemistry and radiochemistry.
