Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholars Program
The Department of Physics & Astronomy is proud to offer the Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholars Program, which supports female science majors who are pursuing summer research projects in physics, astronomy, and computer science as well as cross-disciplinary research projects in computational physics, geophysics, biophysics, computational chemistry, and physical chemistry. The awards will be given annually to eight women in Physics & Astronomy and Computer Science or related fields. Each recipient will be paid a stipend of $4200 for 10 weeks of summer research, with additional funds allotted for research expenses and travel to meetings to present results. The CBL Research Scholars will take part in cohort activities such as summer lunch meetings, presentation of a poster on their research at Carleton’s annual poster session and participation in related CBL activities throughout the academic year following their summer research.
To be eligible, the applicant must be:
- Female interested in physics, astronomy, computer science or related fields.
- U.S. Citizen
- Preference is for 1st or 2nd year students
The application deadline is February 1, 2011. The application and more information can be found here.

Summer Research Away from Carleton – REUs and Internships
As information on REUs and internships comes into the department, it is posted online at http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/reu/.
Check for new information often as this site gets updated regularly. Start preparing your applications over winter break because many of these REUs have deadlines in mid January and you will want to come back to Carleton ready to submit your applications.
Please read the instructions for requesting letters of reference here http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/references/ before you ask for a letter of reference from a faculty member. This will make the process go more smoothly for everyone.
