Introduction: The objective of the UC Davis ChemEnergy REU site is to provide diverse undergraduate students with a unique nine-week research experience tackling important societal research problems in energy and catalysis. During this program students will live on campus and work alongside faculty and graduate students and gain a unique perspective on modern chemistry research. Students will also network with faculty and students in weekly social activities. Field trips to local companies are also planned. Students will also get training to improve scientific communication skills.
Eligibility: Strong students who are sophomore or junior chemistry (or related) majors. Must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident, and UC Davis undergraduates are not eligible for this program. Students are selected based undergraduate record, letters of recommendation, and research interests.
Stipend: $4000 (nine weeks); Housing on-campus and a meal allowance will be provided.
Applications: Fill out the application form and submit. In addition arrange for two letters of recommendation from science faculty to be sent on your behalf. You must also send a copy of your transcripts (unofficial version is fine). Please send these by email to REU@chem.ucdavis.edu.
