Dear Mechanics Friends - Please share this announcement with undergraduate students. This is an opportunity for mecahnics/mechanical engineering students to learn about how mecahnics affects chemistry, and vice-versa.

The Center for Mechanical Control of Chemistry (CMCC) is a new research center funded by the National Science Foundation. Each summer, the Center hosts a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program where undergraduate students will carry out fundamental research as a full member of a research group at one of the affiliated center locations (University of Pennsylvania, City University of New York, Texas A&M, MIT, and University of California-Merced) over a 10 week period. In addition to research, students will participate in professional development and science communication in collaboration with the Science History Institute in Philadelphia, PA.

We particularly encourage applications from members of traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM, including members of racial and ethnic minority groups, women, and veterans.

The application deadline is Feb. 11, 2022. Details and application information are here: https://www.chem.tamu.edu/cmcc/reu_info.php

I am a third year undergraduate student of IIT Kharagpur (www.iitkgp.ernet.in). In the coming summer, we are supposed to do summer training in some industry in, or out of India, whereas if we want to do internship in a university it must be a foreign university (internship in Indian universities is not allowed).

As I am very much interested to utilize the summer time (two and half months) in doing some good research work on structural/solid mechanics, I don't think industry will be a good option. On the other hand I will not be able to do internship in foreign universities without stipend. So I am looking for a paid/partially paid internship (preferably in US/ Europe) for my next summer.

Kindly suggest me some universities or Professors, where it is likely to have funding and vacancy for undergraduate researchers. My resume is attached with this post.

Thank You
