Applications are open (until March 1) for the Chemistry REU Site (see below) to held at West Virginia University (WVU) in summer 2019 pending NSF’s fulfillment for recommendation of funding.
Students from groups underrepresented within their disciplines (e.g., women, underrepresented minorities, students with disabilities), veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, first generation students and students from socioeconomically depressed regions (e.g., Appalachia) are especially encouraged to apply. In addition, please encourage RISING SOPHOMORES to apply!
The 2019 NSF-funded REU Site: Research in Chemistry at West Virginia University (May 19-July 26, 2019) is now accepting applications from undergraduates who 1) are majoring in chemistry or biochemistry (pre-majors also considered), 2) are citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the U.S. or its territories, and 3) are interested in a research and training experience akin to that of a graduate student. Selected participants spend 10-weeks researching on projects that address fundamental questions related to the chemistry of health and catalysis in chemistry. Projects focus on the potential of research to benefit society both directly and indirectly in the fields of health care, forensics/criminology, energy, sustainability, and transportation. Participant benefits include $5,000 stipend, lodging, meal expenses, and travel reimbursement to/from the Site. Regular review of completed applications will begin on March 1, 2019. Prior to March 1, completed applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and offers made.
