Caltech is excited to announce two summer research opportunities available to continuing undergraduate students. Questions about these programs can be directed to Carol Casey at casey@caltech.edu or (626) 395-2887.

Make a difference in the lives of students and address educational inequity in the Twin Cities.

As a summer teaching fellow, you’ll teach classes of 10-12 students with training and support. Our 9-week fellowship is designed to give you the instructional and cultural humility tools to become an effective teacher and mentor to students in the Twin Cities who are impacted by inequitable educational circumstances. You will receive support from licensed teachers and a committed staff to be successful and learn in a high-challenge, high-support environment. Undergraduate and high school students aged 16+ are eligible to apply. All majors or areas of study are welcomed!

First Interview Deadline: November 29, 2018

The Student Research Symposium will take place on October 19 in the Weitz Commons.  All students who have done summer research are encouraged to participate. Students must register by 5pm Friday, October 5. Registration can be found at https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/ltc/calendar/student_research/. 

Before applying, students should have already contacted and discussed the nature and timing of their project with the person they are planning to work with as well as a faculty member at Carleton who can vouch for the project. Because the intent of the fellowship is exploration in STEM fields, priority is given to students who have completed coursework related to the proposed research, but who have not yet had a significant funded research experience (7 or more weeks). Please note that students previously supported through the Kolenkow-Reitz Fund (winter break or summer) are less likely to receive funding, but are still eligible to apply.

Application Deadline: Thursday, October 4, 2018,  5:00 PM

Multiple deadlines for 2018.

A summer research position is now available at the National Exposure Research Laboratory of the U.S. EPA, focusing on photochemical transport modeling of atmospheric aerosols from combustion processes.

Welcome: U.S. undergraduates join us for a paid summer research experience that will change your entire perspective on what it means to be an international community scholar!
