Academic-Year Undergraduate Research Internship

The Northwestern University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (NU-MRSEC) offers an Academic-Year Undergraduate Research Internship program. Students have the opportunity to conduct experimental, theoretical or computational research in various areas of materials science. For an overview of Center research, please view the MRSEC research website.

Participants will receive a stipend of $12/hour for the academic year and are expected to work for 10 hours a week. To be eligible for this program, you must be a Northwestern undergraduate student majoring in a science or engineering field and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Participants wishing to receive academic credit for the project they do during the URI program must consult with their departments (most departments will not give academic credit for the same work for which a student receives pay). The internship is compatible with the Federal Work-Study program, but students do not need to be Work-Study eligible to participate.

The MRSEC Undergraduate Research Interns for 2011-12 are:

Conner Dykstra (Research Advisor: Vinayak Dravid)
Jeffrey Lin (Research Advisor: Robert Chang)
Stephen Okoniewski (Research Advisor: John Ketterson)
Alice Ou (Research Advisor: Thomas Mason)
Spencer Saldana (Research Advisor: Mark Hersam)
Patrick Schnettler (Research Advisor: Selim Shahriar)

We are currently accepting URI applications on a rolling basis. Please contact mrc@northwestern.edu for any questions.
