In this summer REU, students will work on research projects under faculty mentors that draw from a range of approaches (classical biochemical and genetic to non-trivial theoretical models that require computation) to study naturally-occurring genetic networks, artificial genetic and metabolic networks, and biomolecular structure, function, and evolution.
Rice offers a unique opportunity for undergraduates to perform cutting-edge cardiovascular research ranging from fundamental science and translational medicine to community health. The SURFN at Rice will recruit undergraduates from the greater Houston area to perform research in the departments of Bioengineering, Biosciences, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemistry, Computational and Applied Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology, Mechanical Engineering, and Statistics.
ENGMED is a 10 week interdisciplinary summer research experience that brings students from various branches of engineering and computer science together with engineering faculty engaged in leading edge collaborative research with non-engineers in the health sciences to prepare the next generation of engineers to lead the continued transformation of society.
The focus of this REU is to explore new technologies and approaches in nanotechnology and electrochemical devices that address climate change, energy, and environmental sustainability through research projects focusing on Processes to Reduce Greenhouse Gases, Energy Storage and Management, and Water Purification. This REU is specifically for community college students in the Greater Houston Area to explore sustainable solutions that lead to a future where oil and natural gas are converted efficiently into hydrogen and valuable carbon materials, where we have efficient tools to store and convert energy, and where new physical and chemical processes increase access to clean water in all parts of the globe.
This is an 8-week summer research program which takes place between June 2, 2025 and July 25, 2025.
Undergraduates will be fully immersed in a research environment and conduct a rigorous project that has implications for real-world problems. Topics are diverse such as patient safety, hiring and personnel selection, discrimination, driving, health psychology, human-computer interaction, human-automation interaction, cybersecurity, election ballots, workplace conditions, leadership, language comprehension and production, sustained attention, aging, emotion regulation, education, usability, AI-powered assessment, teamwork and training. Students also will attend research presentations by faculty mentors, and professional development activities on topics such as workshops on writing resumes, giving oral presentations, and interviewing for a job; writing a research paper and an essay for graduate school applications; and creating a conference poster.
Support includes a stipend of $4800, housing and meals, and travel funds.
Deadline: January 6, 2025
Rice University offers a new REU program in Quantum Technologies. The Q-REU fellows will be mentored by a Rice faculty in the departments of Physics & Astronomy, Electrical and Engineering and Applied Physics and will be offered the unique opportunity to perform cutting-edge research in atomic physics, quantum optics, photonics and quantum devices. The Q-REU is administered by the Weiss school of Natural Science and it will start on May 28 and end on August 2.
RLEAD will provide a 10-week research and professional development experience to undergraduate students in chemistry interested in topics related to Chemical Nanosciences. The RLEAD program will provide students with the tools and experiences necessary to become proficient researchers in nanoscale sciences, while making available leadership and professional development training tailored to the needs of each participant. RLEAD is perfectly situated in terms of research area and expertise, as Rice is one of the pioneers and leading institutions in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and is the host institution of the acclaimed Smalley-Curl Institute for Nanoscience and Technology and the Welch Institute for Advanced Materials.
Applications are now open and will be considered through February 15 at 11:59 pm.
During the 10-week Rice STAT-DATASCI program, participants will work closely with faculty, postdoctoral, and/or graduate student mentors on current, cutting-edge research projects. Other program activities include technical and professional development workshops, a guest speaker series, community-building cohort meetings, and an end-of-program poster presentation. Support includes a $7000 stipend and on-campus housing accommodations.
The Rice Advanced Materials Institute (RAMI) invites undergraduate students to participate in a paid 10-week summer research program (with flexible timing between May 6 and August 22, 2025) at Rice University. The program offers students the opportunity to engage in advanced materials research through hands-on projects under the mentorship of RAMI faculty members at Rice University. The undergraduate fellows will receive a stipend of $7,500 and the graduate student or postdoc who serves as the day-to-day mentor $1,000. Nominations are due by Jan. 21, 2025, for the Summer 2025 cohort.
