Opportunities

There are several opportunities for graduate fellowships at the Institute for Nanoscience, Engineering, and Technology, including interdisciplinary fellowships and Distinguished Graduate Fellowships between Northern Illinois University and Argonne National Laboratory (for a brochure click here). Nanoscience fellowship can be done in several departments (for admission policies at, e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, see their web sites).

For an application for a nanoscience grant, we need:

  • A filled-out application form 
  • A resume 
  • All relevant transcripts of grades and GRE scores 
  • Three letters of recommendation

Internal applicants should also provide

  • A summary of proposed research

Proposal should be mailed to Michel van Veenendaal: veenendaal @ physics.niu.edu ( Electronic applications are preferred) or Michel van Veenendaal, Dept of Physics, Northern Illinois University, De Kalb IL 60115.
