Hello,<br>
<br>
Could you please let your students know about the following
opportunity?<br>
<br>
Thank you, Robert Stone<br>
<br>
We are currently accepting applications for The University of Texas
at Brownsville summer REU program as described on the attached
flyer.<br>
<br>
Students can chose a research project from astrophysics, biophysics,
gravitational wave detection, lasers and photonics, nanoscience,
radio astronomy, and optical astronomy.<br>
<br>
Participants will receive a $5000 stipend and housing will be
provided.<br>
<br>
Students who have completed their freshman, sophomore, or junior
year in college by Spring 2013 are invited to apply (graduating
seniors and more advanced students are not eligible). Physics,
astronomy, chemistry, computer science and engineering majors are
encouraged to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or Permanent
Residents.<br>
<br>
Facilities include modern optics and photonics laboratories,
state-of-the-art laboratories in material science, the Arecibo
Remote Command Center at UTB, and the UTB Astronomical Observatory,
which is a testing bed facility for the development of an Optical
Transient Southern Observatory in South America. Some participants
will also spend some time at the LIGO Hanford Observatory, an NSF
national facility managed jointly by MIT and Caltech in the state of
Washington.<br>
<br>
More information and an application can be found at <a href="http://www.phys.utb.edu/REUsite/">http://www.phys.utb.edu/REUsite/</a>.
<br>
The application deadline is March 4, 2013.<br>
