Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)International Students Click Here The Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM) and the Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) are sponsoring research opportunities for undergraduates in disciplines related to Materials Science summer of 2010. Potential projects span a broad range of topics under the guidance of faculty from the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering. The research topics are chosen each year to complement the research of faculty associated with the Princeton Center for Complex Materials.
The REU program is principally focused on providing students with the opportunity to carry out research at the forefront of materials science and engineering. A listing of suggested research topics with brief descriptions may be found at Suggested Research Projects from Summer 2010. In addition, we provide a proactive educational program consisting of short courses and lectures, designed to introduce students to the grand challenges of materials research. The schedule of events for the REU program in 2009 can be found at REU Summer Agenda 2009. Photos of the 2009 participants can be found at REU Participants 2009. A listing of 2009's research topics may be found at Research Projects Summer 2009. Over the past several years two short courses have been offered each year with different topics, including: Ceramic Materials, Organic Films for Electronic Materials, Microscopy for Materials Characterization, Polymer Materials, Processing and Characterization of Colloidal Materials, Catalyst Materials, and Computational Materials Science. Special seminars also examine the role of science and engineering in society. Lab visits to both Princeton labs and industrial labs in the area are arranged. The dates of the program for 2010 will be June 7-August 13. Those students selected for the program will receive a stipend of $500 per week (special restrictions apply for international students). Low-cost housing is available from Princeton University during the program. We encourage applications from students of all science and engineering disciplines. Those interested in applying to the program may do so on-line (REU on-line application). Note: Please us the latest version of Internet Explorer with javascript and cookies enabled to submit this form. If you experience problems submitting the form, please contact the REU coordinator at sgreco@princeton.edu. Required application materials:
All applicants should mail an official hard copy of your college transcript to the address below. When describing your research interests in your application, it is important to be explicit about the research areas that interest you, and we will then make an effort to find the best match between potential research projects and your research interests. The deadline for applications is March 1, 2010. Selection of participants will be made beginning in mid-February and continuing until early April. Those selected for the program will be notified by email, with information about a potential research topic and research mentor. Students are encouraged to contact the Faculty Advisors or Professor Jay Benziger if in need of further information or assistance. All transcripts and application information that cannot be submitted electronically should be mailed to:
