Student Internships for Research in Energy and the Environment – INACTIVE
The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment (ACEE) invites undergraduates to apply for paid summer internships. Funding will be provided for research projects, particularly field work and laboratory research, performed under the auspices of faculty doing research in areas related to the ACEE. If approved, current freshmen, sophomores, or juniors will receive a $4,000 stipend for eight weeks of summer research and up to $4,000 for research related expenses. Each applicant must recruit a Princeton faculty member to supervise and host the student in his/her lab. Research must begin by June 30, 2013 and last at least eight weeks. Funding is made possible through the generous support of the Peter B. Lewis Fund for Student Innovation in Energy and the Environment and the Dede T. Bartlett P03 Fund for Research in Energy and the Environment.
Recipients of funds under this program will be required to do the following:
- secure the endorsement and supervision of a faculty advisor;
- account for the use of funds received for research related expenses and return any unused funds;
- submit a final research report to the ACEE in the fall of 2013;
- provide acknowledgement to the supporting donors in the report and in any subsequest publication based on the research performed; and
- notify the ACEE of any future publication based on the research performed.
Please submit electronically to acee@princeton.edu the following items by the end of the day on February 11, 2013:
- a completed application form, including your advisor’s endorsement;
- a proposal of no more than two pages that describes your project, clearly identifies its applicability to the ACEE mission of providing technical solutions to ensure our energy and environmental future, and provides a detailed budget for research related expenses (up to $4,000) if requested.
Incomplete funding applications will not be considered. Notification of awards will be made by March 15, 2013.
