University of Notre Dame REU 2009
University of Notre Dame's Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(REU) Program, now in its 23rd year, provides opportunities for undergraduate
students to experience hands-on participation in research in many areas
of Physics. Students are granted stipends, university housing, and assistance
with travel and food expenses. In plain English, this means that if you
are a rising junior or senior, you can come to Notre Dame and work with
a professor for ten weeks. You will either help this professor with his
or her work, or work on an experiment of your own. The REU program gives
you valuable research experience, to help you decide if physics research
is right for you. Students who are in those groups traditionally underrepresented
in sciences (women, members of underrepresented minorities, and those
with disabilities) are particularly urged to apply.
The program is available only to U.S. citizens or permanent residents unless tuition/support has been arranged through your university or another organization. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Program details:
- 10 week appointment for the summer
- Round trip travel allowance to Notre Dame
- $3,900 stipend plus housing

Students will work closely with faculty and graduate students on a variety of current research projects. The summer program not only provides each student direct experience with a specific project but also provides important exposure to all areas of physics research. See the specific areas here.
