[LA-SiGMA] REU Opportunities-Please Advertise

[Leigh Townsend]

The Center for Computation and Technology at Louisiana State University and
the Louisiana Alliance for Simulation-Guided Materials Applications
(LA-SiGMA) are now accepting applications for TWO Summer 2012 REU Programs
in Computational Sciences and Material Sciences.  Please distribute this
information to your students as these are great opportunities for them.

CCT REU: Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Computational Sciences
http://reu.cct.lsu.edu/
*****************************************************************************

The Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) hosts a nine week Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program where students work
collaboratively on a wide variety of computational science projects.   Each
student receives a stipend of $4,500, free housing in university
dormitories, and up to $500 in travel expenses to and from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana.  Nine students will be selected.

Qualifications:
 Interested in a major that is within the computational sciences umbrella
(leaves out few majors as it includes all sciences, mathematics,
engineering, finance, statistics, etc.) with at least a 2.75 GPA,
considering a career in research and/or graduate school in your major, and
being a US citizen or permanent resident.

Important Dates:
March 1, 2012: Application deadline.
March 30, 2012: Notification of decision.
May 29, 2012 through July 28, 2012: Program dates.

 The research activities of the CCT are organized into five Focus Areas:
Core Computing Sciences, Coast to Cosmos, Material World, Cultural
Computing, and System Science and Engineering. These are broad, and
sometimes overlapping areas where faculty from diverse departments
(Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Civil Engineering, Oceanography
and Coastal Sciences, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Electrical and Computing Engineering, Music, Business, etc.) collaborate in
multidisciplinary projects. Our REU students learn how to use some of the
nation's largest supercomputers, may participate in the setup and
management of large-scale simulations, and may take on an important role in
the analysis and visualization of the simulation results.

LA-SiGMA REU:  Interdisciplinary Research Experiences in Materials Science
http://reu.lasigma.loni.org/
*****************************************************************************

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) project is a nine week
program where students work collaboratively on a wide variety of materials
science projects.   Each student receives a stipend of $4,500, free housing
in university dormitories, and up to $400 in travel expenses.  Thirty
students will be selected, five each at Louisiana State University,
Louisiana Tech University, Southern University at Baton Rouge, Tulane
University, University of New Orleans, and Xavier University of Louisiana.

Qualifications:
Interested in a major that is within the computational sciences umbrella
(leaves out few majors as it includes all sciences, mathematics, and
engineering) with at least a 2.75 GPA, considering a career in research
and/or graduate school in your major, and being a US citizen or permanent
resident.


Important Dates:
March 1, 2012: Application deadline.
March 30, 2012: Notification of decision.
May 29, 2012 through July 28, 2012: Program dates.

 The research activities of LA-SiGMA are organized into three Science
Drivers:
-Electronic Materials
-Energy Materials
-Biomolecular Materials
and the CyberTools and Cyberinfrastructure group.

These are broad, and sometimes overlapping areas where faculty from diverse
departments (Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Mechanical
Engineering, Electrical and Computing Engineering, Biomolecular
Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, etc.) collaborate in multidisciplinary
projects. Our REU students learn how to use some of the nation's largest
supercomputers, may participate in the setup and management of large-scale
simulations, and may take on an important role in the analysis and
visualization of the simulation results.
