Summer Undergraduate Research Program

The CSP will provide up to 16 full-time research positions to undergraduate students during the summer.  Positions may be available at the University of Minnesota, the University of California–Berkeley, Northwestern University, Cornell University, the University of Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of South Dakota.

We anticipate the 2022 summer program to be in-person. Program structure and any modifications are subject to change and will follow the public health guidelines at each host institution.

For example research topics, view previous participants and projects.

This program is open to undergraduate students in science and engineering majors, preferably chemistry, chemical engineering, or materials science. Program participants must be US citizens or permanent residents. Historically excluded and multicultural students are strongly encouraged to apply (e.g. female, genderqueer, transgender, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native American or Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer, disability, or veteran of the US Armed Forces, Reserves, or National Guard).

The application for the 2022 program is now closed. Please check back in Fall 2022 to apply for the 2023 program.
