[NEIU Physics Students] UIC GAANN Fellowship In Applied Physics

[Gregory W. Anderson]

GAANN doctoral fellowships for full-time study in Applied Physics
The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Department of Physics
invites applications for GAANN doctoral fellowships for full-time study
in Applied Physics. Applications will be considered for Spring and Fall
2008.The GAANN Ph.D. Fellowships in Applied Physics The fellowships are
funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Graduate
Assistance in Areas ofNational Need (GAANN) Program. The UIC Department
of Physics GAANN Program aims on recruiting talented US citizens and
permanent residents with an excellent academic record and strong
motivation to pursue a doctoral degree in the area ofApplied Physics.
GAANN Fellows receive a stipend based on calculated financial need up to
a maximum of $30,000 per year. They will also receive a tuition and fee
waiver. Additional funds are available to cover the cost of tuition,
fees, books, computer hardware and software, travel to technical
conferences, and other research needs.

Research Topics
GAANN Fellows will conduct research in state-of-the-art research
laboratories of the Microphysics Laboratory (MPL) studying the growth by
molecular beam epitaxy and characterization of infrared semiconductors
(Drs. Sivananthan and Grein), the Laboratory for Atomic, Molecular, and
Radiation Physics housing the world's biggest and brightest ultraviolet
laser system (Dr. Rhodes), the optical and laser physics laboratory
ofDr. Schroeder and the Biophysics laboratory ofDr. Ansari conducting
research on the dynamics of biological macromolecules with time-resolved
fluorescence spectroscopy.

Application Process
Fellowships will be offered to the highest-ranking applicants who are
U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents. Interested candidates
should submit an application for graduate school at UIC for the Physics
program and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Online applications are available at http:
