          NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates 1995-96
   Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
           DIMACS - Rutgers University/Princeton University

  DIMACS invites applications for a NSF Research Experience for
Undergraduates (REU) program.  DIMACS is one of 25 Science and
Technology Centers funded by the NSF.  It is located at Rutgers
University, and is a joint project of Rutgers Princeton, AT&T Bell
Laboratories, and Bellcore.  DIMACS has over 120 permanent members in
mathematics, computer science, and operations research, and hosts many
distinguished visitors each year.
  The program begins with eight weeks of intensive work during the
summer of 1995 and continues through the academic year 1995-96. Up to
five undergraduates will be selected to participate. Each will have a
DIMACS faculty member as a supervisor.  Research topics this year will
include computational biology, combinatorial optimization,
combinatorics, computational geometry/graphics, and computational
group theory.  The timing of the eight-week summer work period is to
be arranged by the student and supervisor, during June - August, 1995.
The program will provide each student with a stipend funded by the NSF
which includes summer living expenses and travel.
  Applicants should be undergraduates with a major in Computer Science,
Mathematics, or a closely related field.  They should be current
juniors (graduating in 1996), although sophomores with exceptionally
strong backgrounds will be considered.  Preference will be given to
students who will continue their research projects during the academic
year, under the direction of either their supervisor or a faculty
member from their home institution.  NSF requires that recipients be
U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.
