Summer undergraduates at the PSU Lion

We are looking for undergraduates
with interests in science and engineering to work in faculty
laboratories at the Penn State University Park Campus for
Summer 2005. Students will work in the laboratories of internationally
renowned scientists and engineers (click here for a list of
BRIE faculty) in one of six departments
(Geosciences, Crop
and Soil Sciences, Chemistry,
Civil and Environmental
Engineering, Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology, Material
Science and Engineering). We have identified significant
biogeochemical questions that could be uniquely addressed
using our expertise to guide students in pioneering work.
Students receive a stipend, plus room
and board; however travel expenses and insurance, which is
required for all students, are the responsibility of the student.
During the 8-week program, the summer interns participate
in field trips, professional development seminars and a mini-symposium
where they present their research.
Undergraduates can submit the Summer
2005 Application or email Denise
Kowalski for more information.
Penn State students are encouraged
to explore the Center for Environmental Chemistry and Geochemistry's
(CECG) summer fellowship program first before applying to
the BRIE program. Students from under-represented groups are
especially encouraged to apply.
