The Research Experience for Undergraduates in Mass Spectrometry will run for 8 weeks in the summer of 2010, starting on June 7. Students will carry out research projects with participating faculty in the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University. In addition, students will participate in weekly lunch seminars on the diverse applications of mass spectrometry in all fields of science.

Students will be provided with a stipend of $500/week ($4000 total), in addition to housing in a furnished apartment, a weekly meal stipend, and funds for travel to and from the REU site.

Students in the program will also be given the opportunity to present the results of their work at a national scientific conference, such as the national meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.
