The 2015 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics at The Johns Hopkins University in the Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology Engineering Research Center (CISST ERC) / Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) is an intensive ten-week program of laboratory research and instruction. In the program, each REU student receives hands-on laboratory research experience under guidance from faculty and graduate student mentors. The students will also receive classes on ethics in research and technical communication. A stipend of $5000 and housing will be provided by the program for the 10-week period.

The application can be accessed using this link:-http://lcsr.jhu.edu/reu/

The deadline to submit applications is March 2, 2015.

**I participated in this program a number of years ago and it was **great**! Nowhere else do you get to play with a millions-of-dollars surgical robot (the Da Vinci - look it up, it's awesome) as a field trip. Or do laparoscopic surgery on a live pig (don't worry, if you're squeamish you don't have to do it. I loved it.)
