- More Women Applicants Wanted for
- the National Undergraduate Fellowships
- in Plasma Physics and Fusion Engineering.
-
- (Please pass along the following announcement to any strong
- candidates, or have them request an application by phoning
- (609)-243-2112. Women and minority students are especially encouraged
- to apply. Thank you.)
-
- The National Undergraduate Fellowships in Plasma Physics and Fusion
- Engineering provide outstanding undergraduate students in United
- States colleges and universities an opportunity to participate in
- projects in the forefront of research and development of fusion
- energy. The goal of the program is to stimulate students' interest in
- the fields relevant to fusion research while providing capable
- assistants to fusion research projects. The fellowships are sponsored
- by the United States Department of Energy.
-
- The fellowship program consists of two parts: a one-week introductory
- course and nine weeks of research. During the week of June 14 - 18,
- 1993, students will attend the introductory course at the Princeton
- University Plasma Physics Laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey, which
- will cover basic elements of plasma physics, an introduction to the
- technology questions being addressed by fusion researchers, and an
- overview of the worldwide fusion effort.
-
- Starting June 21, each student will then take part in nine weeks of
- fusion research at one of the participating universities and national
- laboratories. Research opportunities are available in theoretical,
- computational and applied physics, materials science, and electrical
- and mechanical engineering. Research assignments will conclude on
- August 20, 1993.
-
- Students will receive a stipend of $4,800 and will be reimbursed for
- travel expenses to and from their university or permanent U.S.
- address, up to $1,000. Room and board expenses during the one-week
- course at Princeton will be paid by the program. Students will be
- responsible for their housing and meal expenses during the remaining
- nine weeks.
-
- Applications are invited from students in engineering, mathematics,
- computer science, or physics,who are presently in their junior year in
- a U.S. college or university. Exceptional sophomores will also be
- considered. Students should have taken at least one course in
- electricity and magnetism beyond introductory physics. Preference in
- selection will be given to students who have not previously
- participated in this program.
-
- Students should send application materials to:
