Applications Closed Program Period: June 1, 2021 – August 7, 2021 Research Topics: physics with subareas experimental high energy and experimental astroparticle physics
Program Overview:
*We plan to operate our REU program during summer 2021, hopefully in-person, but otherwise remotely, depending on the public health situation. However, our REU program for summer 2020 had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, and those students are instead guaranteed spots in the summer 2021 program. Therefore, our REU program for summer 2021 is already fully subscribed, and we will not be accepting any new applications this year. Program Overview: We will be operating a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Nevis Labs again next summer. The REU program is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), with the goal of providing undergraduate students with the opportunity to participate in scientific research. Contingent upon NSF funding, we expect to be able to accommodate 10 students in the program. During the REU program, each undergraduate student participant will join one of our ongoing experimental efforts in high energy particle physics (HEP) and astroparticle physics research. These areas of research seek to identify the most fundamental constituents of the universe around us, and to probe how these constituents interact. The REU program will provide a stipend of $6000 to each student, which includes a travel allowance for domestic return-trip travel expenses. Free housing will also be provided, either in Columbia University student housing on campus in New York City, or at the respective laboratories. International travel expenses will be paid in cases where it is needed. Eligibility: Government regulations concerning the NSF funding of the REU program require that students be US citizens or permanent residents. In addition, students must be either freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or non-graduating seniors during this current academic year; in other words, seniors who will have graduated before the beginning of the program are not eligible. All participants must demonstrate that they have appropriate health insurance for the duration of the program. No previous research experience is required. Students should have enthusiasm for experimental physics research. It is desirable, but not required, for applicants to have skills related to experimental physics, such as computer expertise (especially with C++ and/or python, and with the Linux operating system), mechanical aptitude, and/or electronics experience. Nevis Labs, and the NSF, are committed to the encouragement of women and minorities to participate in scientific research. We strongly encourage women and minority applicants to the REU program at Nevis. We also strongly encourage applications from students of undergraduate-only institutions.

Program Period: June 1, 2021 – August 6, 2021 Research Topics: chemical and solid state carrier dynamics, extreme uv soft x-rays, four wave mixing, intense laser matter interaction, laser created plasmas, nanoscale imaging, ultrafast and high power lasers, x-ray sources
Program Overview:
Welcome to the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Science and Technology – an Engineering Research Center (ERC) exploring the development of compact coherent extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources and their applications in challenging scientific and technological problems. Light in the extreme ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum covers the 5-50 nm range. Because its wavelength is 100-10 times shorter than visible light it can ‘see’ and ‘write’ smaller patterns in applications such as microscopy and lithography. Furthermore, these wavelengths are well matched to the primary atomic resonances of most elements, making possible many element- and chemically- specific spectroscopies and spectromicroscopies. Eligibility: U.S. citizen or permanent resident The EUV ERC encourages students from underrepresented minority groups to apply. You are encouraged to include this information in your application but it is not required. External Link: http://euverc.colostate.edu/ |

Applications Closed
Program Period: June 7, 2023 – August 12, 2023 Research Topics: bioinformatics, biosciences: computational biology, genomics, neuroscience
Program Overview:
Program coordinater: Kimberly Creteur, kcreteur@cshl.edu, urpadmin@cshl.edu The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) at CSHL provides an opportunity for undergraduate scientists from around the world to conduct first-rate research. Students learn the scientific process, technical methods and theoretical principles, and communicate their discoveries to other scientists. Approximately 20 students come to CSHL each summer for the 10-week program, living and working in the exciting Laboratory environment. The technological advances in this century open a new realm of biological questions that can be addressed experimentally. Large genomic sequence or image datasets are routinely and quickly acquired, but the resources and expertise to analyze this data present a challenge to researchers. CSHL’s unique NSF REU program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology addresses this need by providing early training to undergraduate students who might not otherwise pursue quantitative approaches. CSHL’s URP/REU students learn theory and techniques from an applied perspective, investigating an important biological problem rather than from the abstract perspective of computer science. Students are mentored by expert CSHL researchers, who combine biology, information theory and sophisticated computational techniques to address questions at the frontiers of modern genomics, bioinformatics, and neuroscience. In the past ten years, CSHL’s URP/REU program has recruited and trained a diverse group of students, many of whom are still working in bioinformatics or computational fields. Almost all URP/REU participants have continued in scientific careers and/or advanced degree programs at competitive institutions. The program provides students with a modern quantitative biology training program that aims to inspire young scientists to become active participants in modern biological research with its demands for quantitative and computational skills. URP participants work on an ongoing research project in one of CSHL’s expert labs. Research at CSHL focuses on: Molecular Biology & Cancer Eligibility: All URP participants may take part in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program. NSF-supported REU participants are selected from among the URP participants. Students supported by NSF must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. If you are interested in bioinformatics and computational neuroscience, including research in any of the labs listed above, but are not a US citizen or permanent resident, you are eligible for the program through sponsorship from non-restricted URP fellowships.
