The NASA University Leadership Initiative is now accepting applications for University of Tennessee (UT) and non-UT students interested in participating in summer research on the UT Knoxville campus! Students working on this project will contribute to the development of slotted, natural-laminar-flow airfoil technology through aerodynamics and/or structural analyses using industry-standard tools. Research activities will be assigned based on the students’ interests as they align with the current needs of the overall project. In previous years, students worked on airfoil design optimization strategies and laminar-flow-compatible high-lift systems. Some of this research resulted in presentations at national AIAA Aviation and SciTech conferences!
DATES: Sunday, May 31st – Saturday, July 25th Selected participants will receive a $2,500 monthly stipend (June and July) and on-campus housing through the duration of the summer program.
Interested candidates may submit a cover letter and statement of interest by March 6th to Sarah Segal, Program Manager of the NASA University Leadership Initiative, for further consideration at ssegal1@utk.edu.

The Summer Undergraduate Internship Program (SUIP) at the Perelman School of Medicine is accepting applications for summer 2020. The new application deadline is February 18, 2020.
The Summer Undergraduate Internship Program (SUIP) is designed to provide an intense research experience to students interested in graduate study in the biomedical sciences. Interns complete ten weeks of full-time laboratory research, attend state-of-the-art research seminars and deliver scientific presentations to their peers and mentors. In addition, interns receive training in responsible conduct of research, laboratory safety, and presentation skills. Interns are also invited to career counseling sessions in which faculty and administrators discuss graduate school and career opportunities for biomedical scientists.
I

focuses on interdisciplinary nanoscale research at the interface of chemistry,
physics, biology and engineering. More than 40 faculty participants from the
School of Engineering, College of Arts and Science, and the School of Medicine
inspire students by creating an atmosphere of excitement and creativity. Each
REU participant will work directly with VINSE faculty members and their
research groups and be part of the larger VINSE community.
The VINSE REU has a record of
success, 76% of former VINSE NSF REU
students attend graduate school and have received several awards and honors including:
17 NSF Graduate Research
Fellowships (another 7 received honorable mentions)
>40% of former REU students have (or are expected
to) co-author a journal publication
More than half of our former REU students have given a
presentation outside the REU program including 26 at National Conferences
funded by the REU site

The Child Health and Behavior Lab (HABLAB) at the
University of Buffalo is looking for undergraduate students to assist
with research studies during Spring, Summer, and/or Fall
2020. These research experiences would be under the leadership of Dr.
Stephanie Anzman-Frasca, who conducts laboratory- and community-based
studies in the area of children’s eating behavior and obesity
prevention. More information about Dr. Anzman-Frasca’s
work is available here:
https://medicine.buffalo.edu/faculty/profile.html?ubit=safrasca, and more information about HABLAB is available at
http://ubhablab.weebly.com.
Responsibilities of student research assistants include:
assisting with materials preparation, entering data, and helping staff
in the implementation of the study design.
It is anticipated that students will have the opportunity to work
directly with study participants, including parents and children, in
laboratory and/or community studies. All incoming research assistants
must be able to commit to at least 135 hours of research
over the semester (equates to about 10 hours per week), with preference
given to students who can commit to at least two semesters. Students
may be asked to commit to evenings or weekends to work with
participants. For students who spend multiple semesters
on the team, independent research projects, conference presentations,
and/or thesis projects are possible.
Interested students can apply by submitting an
application and a resume to
ubhablab@gmail.com, using “Student research assistant application 2020” as the subject of the email. Applications may be downloaded at
