- REU at SETI:
The SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute is pleased to announce that applications are
now open for the 2009 REU program in Astrobiology. Undergraduate students in fields such as
astronomy, biology, geology, chemistry, and physics are invited to apply to spend 10 weeks in the San
Francisco Bay area working on a scientific research project in the field of astrobiology. Students
receive a stipend, travel, and living expenses. Applications are due by February 2, 2009. For more
information, visit www.set.org/reu or contact Cynthia Phillips,
phillips@seti.org, 650-810-0230.
- WVNano REU Program at West Virginia University:
The research focus of this program is nanoscience with an emphasis on multifunctional nanostructures. Participates receive a
$4200 stipend plus room & board for the 10-week program (May 26 - July 31). Undergraduate students (rising sophomores, juniors, and
seniors) majoring in science, mathematics, or engineering are encouraged to apply. Women, underrepresented minorities and students

Abroad Opportunities:
- APS-IUSSTF Physics Student Visitation
Program:
This is a unique opportunity recently launched by the APS and the Indo-U.S. Science of
Technology Forum (IUSSTF) targeted to undergraduate and graduate physics
students interesting in traveling to India. The program would enable
physics students to gain first-hand experience with the country's culture,
science and people, while fostering collaborations with the fellow
scientists from India at an early stage in their careers. A call for
proposals will be issued bi-annually, with submission deadlines on October
31 for the spring cycle, and March 31 for the fall cycle.
The prospective awardee must meet the following requirements:
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate Physics program
- Be interested in building leadership skills and gain experience beyond
the scientific research.
