2021 Duke/TUNL Summer REU Program

The Duke University-Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory(TUNL) Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program provides students the opportunity to participate in research at the frontiers of nuclear and particle physics.  Students applying to this program have a choice of selecting to participate in one of two research components:  (1) nuclear and particle physics at TUNL or (2) high-energy particle physics with the Duke High-Energy Physics (HEP) group. Students who are selected to work with the Duke HEP program will spend about 6 weeks of the 10-week summer program at CERN. The REU students will conduct research under the supervision of professors from the TUNL consortium universities: Duke University, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Central University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Each student is fully integrated into a research group and works closely with graduate students, postdocs and other undergraduate students in the group and has opportunities to interact with other groups at TUNL and the High-Energy Physics group at Duke.  The students are assigned well-defined projects that are often part of a larger research project or program.

Qualifications:

1. Students who are currently enrolled in an undergraduate program.
2. Preference will be given to students who have completed the sophomore level physics courses or the equivalent by June 2021.
3. Outstanding freshmen students and senior students who will not graduate by June 2021 will be considered on an individual basis.
4. The National Science Foundation requires that NSF-funded students must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.  We regret that we are unable to accommodate international students who do not meet these NSF criteria even with external funding support.
