2016 ACS Nuclear Chemistry Summer Schools

Posted by:

The Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology of the American Chemical Society (ACS) is sponsoring two six-week Summer Schools in Nuclear and Radiochemistry for undergraduates. The Schools are held at Brookhaven National Laboratory (Eastern Site, Long Island, NY) and San Jose State University (Western Site, San Jose, CA).
Fellowships include a stipend of $4000, all tuition and fees, transportation to and from the Summer School location, housing, books, and laboratory supplies. Transferable college credit will be awarded through the ACS accredited chemistry programs at San Jose State University (7 units) or the State University of New York at Stony Brook (6 units).
Candidates should be undergraduates with an interest in nuclear science who are presently in their sophomore or junior year of study at a US college or university. They should have completed at least two years of chemistry, one year of physics and one year of calculus. Applicants must be US citizens.
The deadline for applications is Feb 1, 2016.

NSSC will offer the Public Policy and Nuclear Threats Boot Camp in Summer 2016

Posted by:

The Public Policy and Nuclear Threats (PPNT) Boot Camp is a multi-day workshop hosted by the Institute of Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) at the University of California, San Diego. The program is designed to provide students with the necessary tools to contribute to the debate on nuclear security policy, addressing technical, legal, and policy aspects of nonproliferation. The boot camp features lectures, discussions, debates and policy simulations. Seminars are delivered by distinguished researchers; academics; policy officials; and specialists from the University of California system and other leading universities; the National Security Council; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories; the International Atomic Energy Agency; and federal government agencies such as DNDO (Domestic Nuclear Detection Office), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, dealing with nuclear policy, nuclear threats, detection, and safeguard issues.

Next year’s program will run from June 19 – June 29, 2016, and will be held at UC San Diego.
