REU in Nuclear Science at the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute

Overview

The Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute, in conjunction with the National Science Foundation, is serving as a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site during the summer of 2026. This REU site focuses on research in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with internationally renowned scientists at a major university-based nuclear facility. Undergraduates will gain research experience by carrying out specific projects under the direct supervision of Physics/Chemistry faculty at the Cyclotron Institute. Weekly discussions on forefront areas of Nuclear Science will be led by Institute faculty. Students will have the opportunity to share their work via an oral presentation to members of the Cyclotron Institute and a poster session on campus. All students will also submit an application to present a poster on their research at a national conference. For any students who wish to submit an application to our REU we ask for 2 letters of recommendation. We understand that not everyone will have performed research before and so please ask your letter writers to speak on your potential as a researcher if possible. We also ask for an unofficial transcript that shows your Fall 2025 semester final grades and the courses you are enrolled in for the Spring. There are three questions that we also ask students to upload their responses to in one page or less for each. All applications complete by Friday Feb 6 will receive full considerations. Applications received after this date may still be considered so please continue to apply after this date.
