About this opportunity

The UC San Diego MRSEC Research Experiences for Undergraduates REU program provides full-time summer undergraduate research opportunities at the forefront of materials science and engineering. Participants in our highly collaborative and interdisciplinary program, which focuses on predictive assemblies and engineered living materials, will be fully immersed in the research laboratories of any one of our 20 MRSEC faculty from 5 departments across campus (Chemistry and Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Molecular Biology, NanoEngineering, Physics), as they engage in projects with a focus in either or both experiment and theory.NSF-REU MRSEC students can expect to be:-exposed to the grand challenges in the field of materials science; -trained in computational, nanotechnological, and biologic
