NSF REU Opportunity: Imaging in the Physical Sciences at RIT

We'd like to bring to your attention a new NSF sponsored Research Experience
for Undergraduates opportunity at the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging
Science called "Imaging in the Physical Sciences"

Applications for summer of 2011 are being accepted now.

Check us out at www.cis.rit.edu/reu

A brief description of the program is also provided below.

The NSF REU Program Imaging in the Physical Sciences is a new program that
builds on the strength of the research and educational programs in the
interdisciplinary Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the
Rochester Institute of Technology, extending a rich history of undergraduate
research experiences with RIT students to students from beyond RIT's walls.
Our program introduces young scientists to research in a highly
interdisciplinary, team-oriented setting, preparing the students for the
type of goal-oriented research they are likely to encounter in real-world
environments. RIT is now the third largest undergraduate private technical
university in the United States.

Imaging in the Physical Sciences is designed to draw students from all year
levels and from a range of undergraduate majors, including students who have
just completed their freshman or sophomore years. Qualified students will
have completed the first year of a physical science, engineering,
mathematics, or computer science program. Applicants will submit a
transcript, resume, statement of research and career interests, and two
letters of recommendation.
