International Summer Research Program 2010
THIS PROGRAM IS CLOSED FOR APPLICATIONS; THE DEADLINE WAS FEBRUARY 28!
The Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) is inviting master students with a strong background in natural sciences or engineering to join us for eight weeks of compelling and demanding nanotechnology research starting on 1 July, 2010. Scholarships are available.
On each of the sixteen projects in Munich, Großhadern and Augsburg one or two participants are matched with a graduate fellow acting as a research mentor.
As a participant you will collaborate with other international students to
- Work on fascinating and demanding topics in Nano Sciences
- Operate state of the art scientific equipment
- Sharpen your scientific and technical skills
- Develop your presentation and scientific writing abilities
Research projects are currently offered in the following fields:
- Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy
- Experimental Physics - Biological Physics
- Fluorescence Applications in Biology (2)
- Functional Nanosystems
- Inorganic Chemistry (2)
- Nanothermodynamics
- Physical Chemistry - Materials Science (6)
- Theoretical Physics - Molecular Electronics
- Theoretical Solid State Physics
Scientific education is not the only intent of the program, since the students can also experience German culture and life-style. A supporting program will be organized with weekend trips to touristic destinations and other informal activities.
For your successful participation you will receive:
- Confirmation of participation
- Confirmation of the NIM Student Research Award
- 12 ETCS Credit Points
In order to help applicants from abroad finance their participation, the following is provided and paid for by NIM / MISU:
- Accommodation
- Public transport tickets for July and August
- Supporting Program
In addition to this you may apply to NIM for full reimbursement of your travel expenses as well as a lump sum for your living expenses (up to €720). You will receive your travel expenses upon your arrival in Munich, the living expenses at the end of the Program (both will be in cash). Should you wish to apply for either, please mark the appropriate fields on your application form.
