The City University of New York’s 2013 Summer Undergraduate Research Program invites applications from talented undergraduates interested in research careers in the sciences or engineering.
The ten-week program runs from June 3 – August 9, 2013. All undergraduates completing their sophomore or junior year may apply. The program offers a hands-on research experience and is open to students interested in key research areas in the biological, chemical and physical sciences and in engineering. These areas may include chemistry, energy technologies, environmental science, nanoscience, neuroscience, photonics, physics and structural biology among others. In accordance with their expressed scientific interests, successful applicants will be matched with a faculty mentor at one of CUNY’s colleges.
In addition to working with a faculty mentor, students will participate in a weekly seminar series on topics related to cutting-edge scientific research, graduate school preparation, research integrity, and career development. The program culminates in a final poster session where students present their work to peers, faculty and administrators.
Undergraduates accepted into the program will receive a $3,500 stipend and monthly MTA MetroCards. Applications are due February 15, 2013.
