This summer, the University of Alabama at Birmingham is sponsoring an eight week program in which selected undergraduate students will conduct laboratory research under the guidance of individual UAB faculty members.
Student recipients of this competitive fellowship receive a stipend of $2000 for the summer. Students will receive free on-campus housing but will be responsible for their own meals, travel to and from Birmingham, and other expenses. The program dates will be June 4– July 27, 2012. The application deadline is February 10, 2012.
We expect applicants to SIBS to have completed at least their sophomore year of undergraduate coursework. We anticipate that successful candidates will typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 (“B”) or higher, especially in science, math, and related areas.
Our goal in offering this fellowship is to give talented students the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of intensive, hypothesis-driven laboratory research. This experience should help students make well informed decisions about future career plans. Previous research experience is not required. We especially welcome applications from students who are interested in research as a potential career, including students interested in PhD and MD/PhD programs.
Students can learn more about SIBS and obtain the Application Form online at www.uab.edu/sibs or by contacting Dr. Robin Lorenz, Program Director of the SIBS Undergraduate Research Program, at rlorenz@uab.edu.

The goal of this program is to provide 12 undergraduate students with an in-depth, hands-on research experience focused on the biological basis of human and animal behavior. Students will be trained in the application of the scientific method to develop hypotheses, design and conduct research studies involving either animal or human subjects. Students will also be trained in the responsible conduct of research. Students will be mentored by full-time, Ph.D.-level faculty members who are tenured/tenure-track faculty with strong programs of research. Students selected for the program will be expected to devote at least 40 hours a week for research; thus, it is not possible to be enrolled in courses or other activities during the program.
Program dates: June 2, 2012 - July 29, 2012
Application deadline: February 1, 2012
To be eligible, students must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. Students must be returning seniors, not receiving their bachelor’s degree before December 2012. Each student will reside in a campus dormitory (at no cost to the student) and receive $500 per week to cover food and other living expenses. Students will receive a $500 travel stipend to pay for their travel to and from campus and a $500 additional stipend, if students present research at an academic conference. Information about how to submit an application is available at: http://psychology.okstate.edu/faculty/kennison/osunsfreu.htm.

Setting a Course Toward a Career in Science or Engineering?Curious about physics, electronics, manufacturing, chemistry, materials science, or structural engineering? Intrigued by nanotechnology, fire research, information technology, or robotics? Tickled by biotechnology or biometrics? Have an intellectual fancy for superconductors or, perhaps, semiconductors? Here's your chance to satisfy that curiosity.
Spend part of your summer working elbow to elbow with researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), one of the world's leading research organizations and home to three Nobel Prize winners. Gain valuable hands-on experience, work with cutting-edge technology, meet peers from across the nation (from San Francisco to Puerto Rico and from New York to New Mexico), sample the Washington, DC (or Boulder, CO) area. And, no kidding, get paid ($5500) while you're learning. Come be a part of the the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program (SURF) at NIST.
SURF students work at NIST for 11 weeks, contributing to an ongoing research project under the guidance of a NIST scientist or engineer from one of the Institute's major laboratories (Physical Measurements, Engineering, Material Measurements, Information Technology, Neutron Research, and Nanoscale Science). In addition to your own personal project, you'll have a chance to tour labs, and be exposed to a weekly lecture series on diverse research projects. Abstracts from this past summer's projects are contained in our SURF Colloquium document (http://www.nist.gov/surfgaithersburg/upload/SURFPromoBook2012.pdf).
This will give you an idea on how diverse the SURF projects are.
SURF is a competitive program. Applications are ranked and reviewed.
About 130 fellowships are awarded each year for the Gaithersburg, MD program and another 22 fellowship are awarded for the Boulder, CO program. NOTE: FYI - Each NIST site has its own application process so if you are interested in projects on both sites, make sure to submit two applications.
Please click here to review our project descriptions. The application deadline is 5:00pm EST on February 15, 2012.

Many graduate students will put their head down and successfully plow through their graduate research program in 4-6 years. At the end of their graduate career, many may still be asking themselves the following questions:
- What can I do with my PhD outside academia?
- How can I make myself competitive in today’s job market?
- Do I prefer fundamental research, applied research, or a combination of both?
The Procter & Gamble doctoral internship program, a 20+ year old program, is designed to answer these very questions for STEM graduate students before completion of their graduate studies. Most specifically, our internships will allow students to
- Explore career options by giving them an inside look into an industrial research culture;
- Build their resume by supplementing their graduate research experience; and
- Demonstrate how they can apply their expertise and skills for real world applications.
Procter & Gamble’s Doctoral Recruiting Program is currently accepting applications for a limited number of internship opportunities for students pursuing Ph.D.s in most Engineering (all disciplines), Chemistry (all disciplines), Life Sciences (all disciplines), Mathematical Science, Material Science, Veterinary Science, and Nutrition. The program is a paid, full time summer internship at our Cincinnati, OH or Boston, MA research facilities. The preferred period for the 10 to 12 week internship is June 1 to September 1. At P&G, Intern sessions are considered temporary employment, with a predicted ending point. No full-time employment commitments are made; however, depending on satisfactory completion of certain criteria, candidates may be considered for full-time positions upon obtaining their PhD.
