June 4 - July 27
Virginia Tech
This National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) gives undergraduate engineering students the opportunity to perform research and participate in educational programs in bioprocess engineering (BPE) and enjoy team-building and social activities in Blacksburg, VA. Research areas include synthetic biology and metabolic/genetic engineering for biofuel and biochemical production, protein engineering for biopharmaceuticals, and sustainable biomaterials. Participants will attend the 2012 American Chemical Society Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference in Washington DC from June 18-20.
Stipend: $4,000/summer, plus room and board.
Applicants should be rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors in any engineering discipline with an interest in bioprocess engineering. Underrepresented minorities and women are particularly encouraged to apply.
