NIST’s SURF Boulder Programs are open to colleges and universities in the United States and its territories with degree-granting programs in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, materials science, mathematics, or computer science. Participating students must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents.
About this opportunity
The SURF NIST Boulder Programs are soliciting applications in the areas of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, materials science, mathematics, and computer science. The SURF Programs will provide an opportunity for the NIST laboratories and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to join in a partnership to encourage outstanding undergraduate students to pursue careers in science and engineering. The objective of the SURF Programs is to build a mutually beneficial relationship among the student, the institution, and NIST. The program will provide research opportunities for students to work with internationally known NIST scientists, to expose them to cutting-edge research and promote the pursuit of graduate degrees in science and engineering. It is expected that the students in the program will have a proficiency in writing and speaking English, the ability to live and work with others, a commitment to honesty, and an interest in learning new things and using their own innovativeness to develop new science. Safety is a top priority at NIST. Students participating in the SURF programs will be expected to be safety-conscious, to attend NIST safety training, and to comply with all NIST safety policies. Details of the SURF-B-2011-01 programs can be found in the Full Announcement.
