Western Kentucky University National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
Eligibility: Rising juniors and seniors who have completed core courses in the sciences
Stipend: $60 per week, free housing, meal and travel allowances, and lab supplies
Application Deadline: April 5, 2010
Western Kentucky University seeks talented science students to participate in its summer National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in investigative biotechnology. We hope that you will encourage interested students to apply. Our preference is for rising juniors and seniors (younger students with research experience will be considered), who have completed core courses in the science curriculum at their home institutions and have demonstrated a curiosity and passion for science.
Over 13 faculty members in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics and Computer Science will serve as mentors to accepted students. These students will gain much. Academically, students will be trained in research techniques, participate in exciting research (students can chose from over eighteen projects), and gain valuable presentation skills. Additionally, students will benefit from a series of workshops exploring ethics and preparing students to apply for and succeed in graduate school. Practically, students will receive a stipend of $460 per week, free housing, meal and travel allowances, and lab supplies.
Students can find more information and apply online at http://www.wku.edu/biotechreu . Applications are due by 5 PM CST on April 5, 2010. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact Dr. Shivendra Sahi (shivendra.sahi@wku.edu), Dr. Rodney King ( rodney.king@wku.edu ), or myself ( audra.jennings@wku.edu ).
