Internships
Portland State Research Experience for Undergraduates
Applications for Summer 2013 Now Open
The online application for the 2013 Summer REU at Portland State is now open. Their
funding has been confirmed for this summer.
PSU's REU program provides opportunities for undergraduate students—with an emphasis
on underrepresented minorities, females, and veterans of the US armed forces—to be
involved in research projects with the faculty at Portland State University.
This program allows students to quickly engage in actual research work in a multidisciplinary
environment, while training them in an important skill: microscopy and microanalysis
techniques for materials characterization. The goal of the summer program is to provide
research opportunities to students who do not have access to advanced facilities at their
home institution. We strive to motivate students to pursue advanced degrees and research
careers in science and engineering fields.
This REU summer program consists of eight weeks of full-time (40 hours per week)
research, a week-long training course at the beginning of the program, and practical
seminars throughout the summer. There are regular group meetings for participants to
connect with one another and share their research, as well as a field trip to visit several local
high-tech companies such as FEI Company, Intel, and Nike In-house Manufacturing.
Participants will give a formal presentation at the end of the summer during the REU
Symposium and write a research paper for possible publication.
