We invite undergraduates to apply for research opportunities for Summer 2008(May 27- Aug 1). Preference will be given to physics students with superior records who are now completing the junior year. For the ten weeks of participation, a student will receive a $3750 stipend, plus free dormitory room and health center services. Joint tours, talks, and activities are planned with the Hampton University Physics Department.

We recommend that your application materials be completed by March 1. You can fill out the Application Form directly on line. See the above link and submit to us. Have your transcripts mailed to the address below. The two letters of recommendations should comment on your interest in and potential for research. They might discuss your background in physics and the extent to which a summer research experience would further your education, possible graduate study, and future career. The letters should be emailed to cshank@wm.edu.

This program is funded in part by the NSF and will be offered in the Summer of 2008. Stipends from NSF funds are restricted to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Funds to support others are sometimes available. This program provides undergraduates genuine involvement in actual research. Physics Related Research projects are available in the Physics and the Applied Science departments. We have collaborations at the nearby laboratories: Thomas Jefferson Lab , and NASA Langley Support Center.
