<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt">The MIT Materials Research Laboratory and the Materials Research Science & Engineering Center sponsor a summer research internship program for rising junior and senior undergraduates in the science and engineering
fields. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt">This 9-week Undergraduate Research Program is currently planned to be hosted virtually in Summer 2021. If circumstances change and the program can transition to on-campus, additional support will be available
for housing and reasonable travel costs. Students will learn and perform research in a broad selection of materials science subfields. In addition to providing a stipend, we will have presentations and group discussions on topics relevant to materials scientists,
such as graduate school, careers in materials science, creating effective poster presentations, and management of intellectual property. At the conclusion of the program, the students present their individual research results at a virtual poster session. The
summer research internship, offered each year since 1983, affords students an invaluable experience in top-notch cutting edge research.</span></p>
