During the summers of 2013 through 2018 and 2021 through 2023, the Department
of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers University hosted a Research Experiences
for Undergraduates (REU) program that was funded by the Divisions of
Physics,
Astronomical
Sciences, and (in 2016-18)
Materials
Research at the National
Science Foundation. Information about previous REU participants and their
projects can be found under the "History" tab above. Because the REU site is
on hiatus as of 2024, students from other institutions who are interested in
research opportunities at Rutgers are encouraged to consider applying to the
Research Intensive
Summer Experience (RISE) program. Current Rutgers students are invited to
explore the opportunities for research that are uniquely available to our
undergraduates via the Aresty Research Center.
To our 2025 applicants: unfortunately, based on updated guidance from
NSF regarding funding, we will now be unable to host an REU program in summer
2025. We appreciate your interest, and we encourage you to check this website
for any updates regarding future summers.
