Attention undergraduates interested in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics, computer science and related fields! The office of STEM Diversity Programs at the University of Buffalo has additional funding to cover housing costs to encourage diverse students to participate in the BioXFEL REU!

BioXFEL is a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center (STC) that
focuses on promoting and advancing the study of biological molecules using X-ray
Free Electron Lasers (XFELs). Summer Research Internships are available in several
locations for highly qualified undergraduate and post-graduate students with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics, computer science and all related fields.

All applicants should be interested in pursuing a career in research and MUST be US Citizens or US Nationals. Women and minorities underrepresented in STEM fields are strongly encouraged to apply.

Program Offers:

• A $5000 stipend and will cover housing and travel expenses for those in need.
• Authentic full-time research experience with hands-on laboratory training.
• Regular workshops on scientific presentation skills.
• Seminars on current XFEL-related research and an introductory course on XFELs and Structural Biology.
• Professional Development activities, career mentoring and social events.
• The chance to network with pioneering researchers in XFEL science.
• The chance to work with top researchers on projects that include: protein crystallography, biochemistry, computational analysis, algorithm development, and microfluidics.

Application and Deadline

The deadline for submission is Friday, February 17th, 2023.

Our interns go on to have successful careers in BioXFEL and beyond. Find out more about our graduated BioXFEL interns or explore more opportunities for internships with our partner institutions.
