[Geog_Jobs] FW: Paid Research Opportunity – Summer 2022 NSF REU at the University of Michigan

[Sinha, Gaurav]

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The University of Michigan Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering (CLASP) is currently seeking a highly motivated, diverse and inclusive cohort of undergraduate students to participate in its summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site program entitled: Program in Climate and Space Science Observation (PICASSO). This REU program is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.  The program is open to rising-sophomores, rising juniors and rising-seniors from any academic discipline who are interested in exploring a potential career in the STEM fields of meteorology, climate, and space sciences.

As part of the PICASSO program, student participants will engage in the following activities while on campus:

  *   A mentored-guided research project, the goals of which will be designed with the participation of the students themselves
  *   Peer-mentoring performed by the department’s graduate students/postdoctoral fellows
  *   A professional development seminar series (responsible research conduct, technical communication, resume preparation, imposter syndrome, and navigating the graduate application process, among other topics)
  *   Community-building activities, including community service, which will strengthen their relationships within the REU student cohort
  *   An end-of-program poster fair in which students will present their work to CLASP Department faculty, staff and students

Participating students will receive a $6000 stipend. In addition, the following costs will be covered as part of our program: (1) travel to/from Ann Arbor, (2) room and board during the program, and (3) costs associated with the registration, room and board and travel for the student’s attendance at a professional conference (AMS, AGU, etc.).

Our application deadline is January 31, 2022.  For more information, students should visit our website at the following location<https://clasp.engin.umich.edu/academics/undergraduate-research/reu-clasp/>.  Examples of past PICASSO projects can be found on my personal page at the following location<https://marsik.engin.umich.edu/187-2/>.

NOTE: Our program is currently planning to host an onsite, in-person REU program for Summer 2022.  If COVID restrictions require, we have the ability to shift to alternate modes of programming (hybrid or fully virtual).
