Dear SPS Advisors, Mentors and Officers,

We would like to make the SPS members and the rest of the undergraduate physics students at your school aware of the Graduate Physics and Space Physics programs at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. We offer a PhD in Physics, a PhD in Space Physics, an MS in Physics, and an MS in Physics with concentrations in Computational Physics or Space Physics.

Attached is an electronic version of our Graduate program poster (~1MB in size), which we would greatly appreciate if you could print out and post somewhere appropriate for the students.  We are still accepting applications for fall 2023 admission, though anyone interested in a teaching assistantship should apply quickly.  Contact information is on the poster or you can contact Professor Martin Truffer (the Graduate Program Coordinator and Department Chair) at mtruffer2@alaska.edu.

Many people are not aware of a Physics Graduate program in Alaska, but we do offer a variety of interesting research opportunities ranging from Space Physics (with the only university-owned rocket range in the US) to Arctic Science and Nonlinear Physics; and all that in an unparalleled natural setting.

Sincerely

—

DOE’s Office of Science Is Now Accepting Applications for Summer 2023 Undergraduate Internships

Students Will Conduct Research and Technical Projects at National Laboratories

Applications are currently being accepted for the Summer 2023 term of two undergraduate internship programs offered by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science: the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program. The application deadline is January 10, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. EST.

Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from internship to employment. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists and engineers, assisting them on research or technology projects that support the DOE mission. SULI is open to full-time students attending four-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree, while CCI is exclusively for community college students. Both programs are stipend-based and offered three times annually in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.

A summer internship fair sponsored by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) and hosted by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education will take place on October 25, 2022, from 1:00 – 6:00 pm EST (register here). This is an opportunity for prospective SULI and CCI applicants to engage with recruiters and scientists from DOE national laboratories.

In addition, two application assistance workshops will be held for each program. The first workshop will introduce the program and application process and the second workshop will highlight the research opportunities and internship experience at the DOE national labs. The dates and times for the workshops are:

SULI and CCI are managed by WDTS in the DOE Office of Science. More information can be found at https://science.osti.gov/wdts.

Posted on by

SULI Program Overview

The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program encourages undergraduate students and recent graduates to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as interns appointed at one of 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission.

The SULI program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in collaboration with the DOE laboratories/facilities.

Applications for the SULI program are solicited annually for three separate internship terms.

Rice Undergraduate Research Symposium 2022 – Registration is NOW OPEN!

Posted on by

To whom it may concern,

RURS is a celebration of undergraduate research accomplishment at Rice designed to connect students with their communities and put research in context. This year, the 20th Anniversary of RURS will take place on Friday, April 15, 2022. The event provides opportunities for researchers to dialogue with and receive feedback from scholars, professionals, and advocates to develop an understanding of the purpose as well as the quality of research at Rice. Entrants may also opt to be considered for recognition of research merit in addition to receiving qualitative feedback from evaluators.

This year, the event hosts three categories for research presentation.

  1. Exhibition Sessions (No Mentor Approval Required): students at all levels of research will elect a theme and use visual and oral communication to give a five-minute “lightning talk” that adopts creative mediums to illustrate their research that encapsulates that theme. Attendees will vote for their favorite, with winners announced at the closing reception. Themes include topics like climate, health of the mind & body, justice & dignity, and more!
  2. Poster Sessions (Mentor Approval Required): provides a platform for sharing research, at any stage, with the broader Rice community in two one-hour sessions. Students need mentor approval to apply, and will be evaluated by attendees for the opportunity to be recognized as a top presenter at the closing reception.
  3. Shapiro Showcase (Nomination Required): features 10-minute research talks from 16 nominated competitors across the disciplines. One winner will be selected through judge evaluations and announced at the closing reception.

To register, students must respond to a brief questionnaire and submit an abstract for their research by 11:59 PM on Thursday, March 10. Student participants can find the application and further instructions here: https://tinyurl.com/rurs2022.

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry in collaboration with the Program for Writing and Communication are hosting workshops to help students prepare for registration:

  1. Thursday 2/17 (HRZ 210) & Wednesday 2/23 (Farnsworth Pavilion) 4-5pm: The “How to Write an Abstract” workshop supports undergraduate students writing an abstract for the Rice Undergraduate Research Symposium (RURS). During the workshop, students will develop a strong understanding of abstract expectations and begin writing their draft.
  2. Thursday 3/3 (McMurtry PDR) 4-5pm: In the “Peer Review for Abstracts” workshop, students registering for the Rice Undergraduate Research Symposium (RURS) can participate in a guided peer review session, in which they will revise abstracts for content and style.

For more information, please check the RURS website or email rurs@rice.edu. We look forward to celebrating the outstanding and diverse research carried out by Rice undergraduates!
