Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates Program

The Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center is offering a Research Experience for undergraduates (REU) program over a 9-week period each summer. The summer research program is open to students who are interested in nonmaterial and majoring in a science or engineering field. The NU-Materials Research Science and Engineering Center is an interdisciplinary program focused on multi-functional nanoscale material structures. REU participants receive a stipend of $4,500, plus on-campus housing and a travel allowance.

The Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center (NU-MRSEC) is part of the Materials Research Facilities Network (MRFN). The primary goal of the program is to maximize the use of advanced characterization facilities within the greater scientific community.
