Research internships
The Delaware Energy Institute (DEI) along with the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation (CCEI) offers summer internships to a select group of motivated undergraduates and officially accepted to UD 1st year graduate students to work on independent research projects under the guidance of a faculty mentor and graduate student or staff scientist.
Students are expected to conduct research 40 hours/week for a 10-week period beginning in June which ends with a poster presentation at the University of Delaware’s Undergraduate Research & Service Scholar Celebratory Symposium in August. In addition, students participate in career-development activities such as research ethics, communication skills, laboratory safety training, and field trips to industry.
To apply to the ERI program, email ccei-info@udel.edu
Graduate opportunities
Research
CCEI graduate students are earning Ph.D. degrees from eight institutions, including University of Delaware, Lehigh University, University of Minnesota, University of Massachusetts, North Carolina State University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and California Institute of Technology. As integral members of CCEI, our graduate students are crucial to advancing the ground-breaking research of the center.
For more information about graduate study opportunities at CCEI, please contact individual faculty members at their respective institutions.
