*Jefferson Science Associates Minority Undergraduate Research Assistantship*

 Jefferson Lab is seeking candidates for a research assistantship from a 
SURA member University (see http://www.sura.org/about/members.html for 
current members) to provide an opportunity for a minority undergraduate 
student to work on projects that are part of the Lab's research program 
or directly related to the scientific or engineering aspects of the 
research program.  JSA will provide funds to support the student at the 
university for the 2011 -- 2012 academic year.  This assistantship is 
funded by the JSA Initiatives Fund Program.

    * The funds are to support a student on a project related to

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is a 
user facility for scientists worldwide; its primary mission is to 
conduct basic research of the atom's nucleus at the quark level. With 
industry and university partners, Jefferson Lab also has a derivative 
mission: applied research for using the Free-Electron Lasers based on 
technology developed at the lab to conduct physics experiments. 
Additionally, as a center for both basic and applied research, Jefferson 
Lab reaches out to help educate the next generation in science and 
technology.

/About the* JSA Initiatives Fund Program* (see 
http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IFIndex.html)//  The JSA owners (SURA and 
CSC/ATG) have established the JSA Initiatives Fund to support programs, 
initiatives, and activities that further the scientific outreach, and 
promote the science, education and technology missions of Jefferson Lab 
in ways that complement its basic and applied research focus.  
Initiatives Fund awards are for those projects that benefit the Lab user 
community and that leverage commitments of others.  The annual 
commitment of $0.5 Million is administered by the JSA Programs Committee 
through SURA's Office of Strategic Services./
