Applications for the 2013 NURF program are no longer being accepted. The information below is provided for reference only. Check back in January for application information on the 2014 NURF program. Thank you for your interest!

The NDnano Center will be awarding several summer undergraduate* research fellowships. The fellowships offer motivated undergraduates the opportunity to learn more about a specific area of research, gain valuable skills, and be part of a cutting-edge, nano-related research project.

Fellowship recipients will conduct their research within an exciting team atmosphere, working with a faculty mentor, postdocs and graduate students in the University's science and engineering labs and cleanroom facilities.

Each NURF position is full time (40 hours/week**) and provides a total stipend of $5,250 over a 10-week period. Students awarded a fellowship are responsible for securing their own, transportation, housing and food for the summer.

Fellowship recipients will be part of Notre Dame's summer research community and have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. At the conclusion of their research, each NURF recipient is required to prepare a one-page summary of their project accomplishments and will be invited to present their research findings as a poster at the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Want to learn more? View the project summaries written by the 2010, 2011, and 2012 NURF recipients.

*For purposes of the NURF program, undergraduates are students who will not yet have completed their undergraduate studies at the start of their summer fellowship.

** The University allows students to work a maximum of 40 hours/week during the summer months (all campus positions combined).
