2. Research Internship in
Climate and Weather SOARS Program
SOARS is a summer research internship
for students interested in the atmospheric
and related sciences at the
National Center for Atmospheric Research (Boulder,
CO). The program provides
summer research, strong mentoring and community
support.
Students from
many disciplines, including meteorology, geography, chemistry,
physics,
engineering, mathematics, ecology, and the social sciences are invited
to
apply their expertise to understanding the Earths Atmosphere and to use
that
understanding to improve life on Earth. In particular, SOARS seeks to
involve
students from groups that are historically under-represented in the
sciences,
including Black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska
Native, Hispanic
or Latino, female, first-generation college students and
students with
disabilities. SOARS welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender students;
students who have experienced, and worked to overcome,
educational or economic
disadvantage and/or have personal or family
circumstances that may complicate
their continued progress in research
careers.
Benefits in the summer include a competitive wage, housing, and
travel to/from
Boulder; as well as funding for conferences, undergraduate and
graduate
education throughout the year. Application deadline: Feb 1. To
