| This
program provides a ten-week intensive research experience, with on-site
activities from
June 2, 2008 through August 1, 2008
to upper-level undergraduates (summer prior to junior or senior year) who
plan on advanced degrees in Chemistry or Biochemistry.
Stipends for the program are $3,500; free room
and board are also provided. In addition to the research program,
students will attend seminars by faculty members and other chemical
professionals who will discuss recent advances in chemical research as
well as employment opportunities for chemists, biochemists and chemical
engineers. Tours of local industry are also planned as part of the program.
The last date for review
of applications will be March 21, 2008. On-line
applications preferred; they will be reviewed as received so please
submit as early as possible. Participants will be notified of acceptance
by about April 15, 2008.
