IRIS 2001 Summer Undergraduate Internship Program

 

Information on the 2001 IRIS Summer Undergraduate Internship Program is now available at www.iris.washington.edu/EandO/
internships.html. Applications from potential hosts (PIs) are due February 1st, 2001. Applications from undergraduate students are due February 15th, 2001. Decisions on student-host matches will be made by the end of March, 2001.

The goal of this program is to help principal investigators at IRIS member institutions involve undergraduate students from outside their own institutions in their research. Internships may be 5-12 weeks in length. Research projects may be based in the field or at the PI's home institution. PI's with PASSCAL field experiments scheduled for summer 2001 are particularly encouraged to apply.

Please circulate information on this program to both seismology researcher hosts and undergraduate students that may be interested in participating in the program.
