BLOOMINGTON, Ind. --
IUB will collaborate with 7 other institutions (University of Kentucky, Ohio University, Berea College, Centre College, Eastern Kentucky University, Western Kentucky University, and Hendrix College) in a recently-awarded NSF International Research Exchange for Students (IRES) grant.
This grant will support three cohorts of six U.S. undergraduates and one U.S. graduate student to go Nagoya University in Japan for 10 weeks in the summers of 2024, 2025, and 2026. They will work with a US graduate student and with professors at Nagoya University on scientific projects related to the Neutron Optics Parity and Time Reversal Experiment. (NOPTREX)
This opportunity will target undergraduate students from the Appalachian region and surrounding states. Women, first-generation undergraduates, and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply. The application deadline for the first student cohort is November 15, 2023.
