The Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity in Chemistry (SUROC) provides students from outside the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill an opportunity to engage in hands-on cutting edge research in our state of the art facilities. This is an opportunity to experience Carolina Chemistry, recognized by ACS as one of the top ten graduate programs.

During the 10 weeks of research, students will be exposed to the various facets of independent research. A small cohort of 10 students will work together building a strong scholarly foundation. The experience will be heightened with the opportunities outside the hands-on laboratory work: site visits to large pharmaceutical and small startup companies; introduction to scientific entrepreneurship; experience presenting scientific research; training in research ethics; and exposure to chemical equipment and facilities.

Savannah State University’s Bridge to Research in the Marine Sciences REU program is now accepting applications for Summer 2015.  The Bridge program is a “pre-REU” program focused on training freshman and sophomore students in conducting research in the marine sciences. There is a 3-week intensive curriculum of classroom, field, and laboratory work before the student is paired with a research mentor at SSU, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary, or the UGA-MAREX Aquarium.

Critical points:

-          May 18-July 10, 2015

-          8 week internship with 3 weeks of classroom/field training and then 5 weeks of research with a mentor

-          $4000 stipend

-          Travel, on-campus housing, and food allowance provided

-          Application deadline: March 1, 2015

12-week paid summer internship will be from May 18th to August 7th 2015, with the grant covering the costs of return travel to and from Charleston, dormitory housing with the College of Charleston, a $4,500 stipend and any associated individual intern research project costs (up to $500 per student). Each intern will receiving expert training in the key professional skills needed to pursue graduate school and/or a career in the marine and environmental science disciplines, design and complete an individual research project under the guidance of their mentor(s), and will present their findings to their peers and the Fort Johnson research community at the end of the program in a one-day colloquium setting.

DUE DATE: FRIDAY, MARCH 13TH

The School of Engineering is offering a summer research program with a stipend valued at $4500, as well as providing housing, food, and up to $400 in travel expenses.

During the nine-week period, students will investigate topics in the interdisciplinary field of Surface and Thin Film Science and Engineering. Participants will contribute to the forefront ofresearch on the synthesis, structure and properties of thin films and materials surfaces. Work side-by-side with faculty mentors, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in our labs to conduct original research, gain valuable new experience, and make new friends and contacts. The program provides professional development, career exposure, industry visits, advanced analytical skills, and a variety of recreational activities.
