Applications are invited from undergraduate students for participation in an NSF-funded research initiative “USA-Ukraine-France-Russia partnership. New Generation Synthetic Membranes - Nanotechnology for Drinking Water Safety”. The internship will consist of two stages:

1. Spring: laboratory-based research at MSU
2. Summer: a month-long independent study course in Kyiv, Ukraine. In Kyiv, students will conduct research as members of an international interdisciplinary research team consisting of US and international faculty and graduate students.

Financial support: Limited number of National Science Foundation fellowships is available. Additional financial support from other sources may be possible. MSU Engineering students are encouraged to apply for a fellowship via the summer research internship program at the College of Engineering.

Optional participation in a Study Abroad program: Participation in the "Ukraine: Engineering and language" Study Abroad program during the same Summer semester could be beneficial as it will give an opportunity to concurrently take other MSU courses relevant to the research topic.

Eligibility: While the program is primarily designed for Environmental Engineering students, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, and other majors may apply. Applicants must be in good academic standing and have an overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 at the time of application.

For information on research topics contact Dr. Volodymyr Tarabara at 517-432-1755 or by e-mail at tarabara@egr.msu.edu

US citizens do not need a visa to enter Ukraine if the period of their stay does not exceed 90 days.
