The UAB National Science Foundation – Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) “Regional Initiative to Promote Undergraduate Participation in Experimental and Computational Materials Research”
The NSF REU program is a 10-week program that involves a hands-on research experience for undergraduate students, whereby participants work in the labs of some of UAB’s renown scientists. The Summer 2024program dates: May 19, 2024- July 26, 2024. For Summer 2024, we will begin accepting applications December 1, 2023. The application form, resume, unofficial transcript, two-page essay, and letters of recommendation should be received by April 1, 2024, however, applications will be considered on a rolling basis (meaning they will be reviewed upon receipt and some offers may be made before the April 1, 2024. That being said, applicant’s are encouraged to apply early. Final decisions will be made no later than April 15, 2024.
Strict guidelines set by the UA System, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Department of Physics as well as the Center for Nanoscale Materials and Biointegration must be adhered to by all persons on campus.
The program will pay $6,000 over the entire work period and will involve 400 hours of remote/on ground research with a UAB faculty mentor. The research represents actual projects that will contribute, in some way, to the work already being conducted in the labs.
Eligibility
- The program is open only to United States Citizens and permanent residents of the United States
- Currently enrolled in a U.S. institute of higher education and who will be returning to an undergraduate program after participating in the program).
