Air Force Research Laboratory Scholars Programs

Space Scholars The Space Scholars Program invites four-year college graduates through PhD-level students in the areas of science and engineering to participate in a unique summer program that may lead to graduate fellowships and full-time employment. These opportunities exist in the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Space Vehicles Directorate, which has facilities at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico. Directed Energy Scholars The Directed Energy Scholars Program invites four-year college graduates through PhD-level students in the areas of science and engineering to participate in a unique summer program that may lead to graduate fellowships and full-time employment. These opportunities exist in the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate, which has facilities atKirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site, Maui, Hawaii. Phillips Scholars The Phillips Scholars Program offers upper-level high school and undergraduate students the experience of a lifetime! Phillips scholars gain hands-on experience while working with Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research and technology. They will receive invaluable personal and professional experience while contributing to the future vision of space exploration and energy systems. Phillips Scholars positions may lead to part-time student employment. These opportunities exist in the AFRL’s Directed Energy and Space Vehicles Directorates, headquartered at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, N.M.

Automotive and Energy REU Program at Oakland University

The department of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University (OU) will once again be hosting a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site, “AERIM:Automotive and Energy Research and Industrial Mentorship Program at Oakland University.” The focus will be automotive and energy-related research topics in mechanical engineering with a special emphasis on technologies that aim to improve efficiencies of internal combustion engines, automotive manufacturing processes, automotive materials, alternative propulsion systems and lubrication and wear. We are seeking to recruit ten talented and motivated undergraduate students from across the United States to spend 10 weeks in the summer working on a research project at OU and are especially interested in providing opportunities for women and underrepresented minority students. Students will be provided with a $5,000 stipend, on-campus housing, meal allowance and travel funding. No prior automotive or research experience is required.
 
The program will run this summer from May 18 to July 27, 2011. Applications must be received by March 7, 2011 to ensure full consideration. For more information about the program, as well as the application materials, please go to: http://me-reu.secs.oakland.edu .
