Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU):

Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention (EESPP-REU)

Program Dates: May 29 to August 9, 2019 (10 weeks plus 3-day orientation)

Website: http://www.buffalo.edu/reu

Application Deadline: March 15, 2019, with rolling application review

Applications are being accepted for the summer 2019 Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention REU at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB). The EESPP-REU, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, provides undergraduates an opportunity to conduct faculty-mentored, laboratory, field, or modeling research on pollution prevention projects. This will be the 10^th annual summer REU offering at UB.

EESPP-REU students receive one-on-one mentoring in the conduct of environmental research, focused training in environmental and professional ethics, GRE training, and exposure to a variety of research methods. The program includes weekly group meetings to share research progress, and culminates with a symposium where students present research findings in oral and poster formats. Additional funding is available for REU participants to attend national conferences to present their research results. To network with faculty and peers, students attend fieldtrips throughout western New York, Niagara Falls, and the lower Great Lakes region.

REU participants receive a $5,250 stipend and free on-campus housing in a LEED-certified student complex. Participation is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and students must be enrolled as undergraduates in a college program through Fall 2019 (graduating seniors are ineligible). Eligible students interested in environmental/civil/chemical engineering, environmental science, biology, chemistry, geology, or geography are encouraged to submit an online application. Application instructions, faculty mentors and projects, and more information can be found   at http://www.buffalo.edu/reu. Students from underrepresented groups or attending institutions lacking research facilities or opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.

The State University of New York at Buffalo is a research-intensive public university, a flagship institution in the State University of New York system and its largest and most comprehensive campus. UB’s more than 29,000 students pursue their academic interests through more than 300 undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs.

Oregon State University is pleased to announce summer internships for undergraduate students on the topic of resilience. The Engineering for Bouncing Back (EBB) program will award research experience for undergraduates (REU) fellowships of $5,000 per student, along with travel and subsistence support, for participation in hands-on and interdisciplinary research on building resilient communities.

During the ten-week program, students will work with a faculty mentor and graduate student on a specific project and develop research skills to increase graduate school opportunities. In addition, students will participate in cohort-building activities such as, field trips to communities facing unique challenges in resilience and a film night focused on community resilience stories. Professional development activities include weekly skill-building workshops and panels, a 10-page project report, and a final program symposium.

Highly motivated undergraduate students are encouraged to apply: https://cce.oregonstate.edu/ebb

UNDERGRADUATE SUMMER INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY (NASA’S SUPPR)

The NASA Planetary Geology and Geophysics Undergraduate Research Program has a new name: it’s now known as NASA’s Summer Undergraduate Program for Planetary Research (SUPPR) and it is accepting applications from students who are interested in exploring planetary science for 8 weeks this summer under the mentorship of a NASA-funded researcher.

See https://www.lpi.usra.edu/suppr/ for more details and for the online application form. Applications are due on February 4, 2019.

Students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate studies and have not yet started a graduate program are eligible. Preference is given to US citizens and residents.

Please email Dr. Tracy K.P. Gregg at PGGURP@buffalo.edu with any questions. The University at Buffalo is an EO/AA employer.

Rural areas are fundamental to human well-being. Within the United States, rural areas

provide unique resources such as the infrastructure for food and bioenergy production as

well as the transportation infrastructure from inland urban centers to ports. Despite this, little

attention is paid to the unique challenges and opportunities these areas face with respect to

building and maintaining civil infrastructure.

In this ten-week summer research program, students will work with faculty and graduate

students in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to

improve our understanding of how best to address the challenges facing rural

environments. Through collaboration with industry partners, students will also be given

opportunities to learn how infrastructure challenges are currently being addressed by civil

engineering industry.

The Department of Chemistry at UGA hosts the Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity (SURO) program. This is a 9-week program with a $5000 summer stipend. SURO draws
outstanding undergraduates from US and international universities to join active research groups in Chemistry. The projects are directed by faculty mentors, and the students are introduced to new and innovative areas of research in a variety of Chemistry sub-disciplines. This program seeks to provide students without prior research experience with the skills necessary to succeed as independent researchers. Information on faculty mentors, projects, and past summers can be found at: https://www.chem.uga.edu/summer-undergraduate-research-opportunities

Program Dates: Monday, May 20, 2019 and end Friday, July 26, 2018
