Paid Summer Science, Math and Engineering Research at Rutgers

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, invites applications to our highly successful summer research program, RISE (Research In Science and Engineering) at Rutgers/UMDNJ, http://rise.rutgers.edu. Applications are sought from students who currently:
- are juniors, sophomores, or first-semester seniors (graduating Dec. 09 or thereafter)
- have strong academic credentials
- are considering future PhD programs.

Particularly applications are encouraged from traditionally underrepresented minorities and from students who are from disadvantaged or first-generation college families, have followed non-traditional trajectories through college, or attend undergraduate institutions that do not offer research opportunities.

Here are some features that distinguish RISE from many other summer programs:

-- Exciting Science: Our research spans the biomedical, physical and behavioral sciences, math, and engineering. In the biosciences, we offer an umbrella program, http://lifesci.rutgers.edu/~molbiosci/, and are home to the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the Stem Cell Institute of New Jersey. Cutting-edge interdisciplinary opportunities include three IGERT programs: Biointerfaces (www.igert.rutgers.edu), NanoPharmaceutical Science & Engineering, http://igertnanopharma.rutgers.edu/, and Perceptual Sciences, http://perceptualscience.rutgers.edu/. We also offer strong programs in environmental and marine sciences, food and nutritional sciences, and ecology.

-- Choice of Mentor: We welcome each student’s input

-- Option for 8 or 10 week experience.

-- Extensive professional enrichment: Training in oral and written presentation skills, GRE preparation, workshops on graduate school admissions (including preparation of a personal statement), networking with guest speakers from industry and academia.

-- Funding: Competitive stipend, free on-campus housing, and travel reimbursement.

-- Record of alumni success: RISE students have won numerous awards at national research conferences and have an excellent record of graduate school placement.

-- Great location: We are only a short train ride from the excitement of New York City and Philadelphia, yet have a safe and green campus with easy access to the mountains and beach. We are at the national center of the pharmaceutical and technology industries, and summer students are often able to arrange future internships.

-- On-line application at http://rise.rutgers.edu. Rolling admission begins at the end of January and is highly competitive. We advise early application.

For more information on this opportunity or other summer research experiences, contact Kerry Kidwell-Slak in the Shriver Center at kerryk@umbc.edu or call 410-455-2493 to schedule an appointment.
