It is our pleasure to inform you of the 2018 NSF-funded REU Program in Chemistry at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. This program offers a 10-week intensive research experience spanning the field of chemistry. While research opportunities across all traditional chemistry disciplines are available, the focus of our REU site is on the development of advanced materials for energy and sensing applications.
In addition to the research experience, participants in our REU program will engage in a range of activities designed to develop complementary skills that are beneficial for success in graduate school and scientific research careers. These include professional development programs such as enhancing presentation and writing skills as well as site visits to local research institutions including Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Eastman Chemical. REU students will receive a $5,000 stipend for the 10-week program, free housing on campus and up to $500 of reimbursement on eligible costs for travel to and from Knoxville.
We would greatly appreciate any help you could provide in encouraging students to apply to this program. Further information as well as the online application for the program can be found at the website below.
Application deadline: February 1st, 2018

SASE UC San Diego is hosting their annual Dining with Professionals(DWP) event on February 24th, 2018! Dining with Professionals is an amazing opportunity where students can come dine with professionals from industry, research, and academia in the San Diego area. Here, students can learn more about their career passions and find out more beyond the surface of typical job descriptions and delve into the mind of an actual professional with a personal story.
SASE UC San Diego aims to give the best experience for students and professionals alike. Career fairs, although useful to network, only help so much in allowing students to understand what exactly certain job positions entail. Dining with Professionals was organized in hopes to bridge that knowledge gap and help students prepare themselves professionally. The event allows a more personal setting where students have a chance to network in conversations that are longer and more in-depth than one minute pitches. The atmosphere is different and allows a unique experience that cannot be easily found. Throughout the years, SASE UC San Diego has continually improved each iteration of DWP and take great pride in the positive impact DWP has on students and professionals all around.
Registrations will be open until February 11th! Go to this link to save your spot!
