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 students 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 also 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

·  A professional development seminar series held in collaboration with other summer programs within the University of Michigan

·  Community-building activities which will strengthen their relationships within the REU student cohort, as well as with other undergraduate groups within the university

·  An end-of-program poster fair in which students will present their works to CLASP Department faculty and students

Participating students will receive a $5000 stipend. In addition, the following costs will be covered as part of our program: (1) the costs associated with 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, 2019.  For more information, students should visit our website at http://clasp.engin.umich.edu/academics/undergraduate/PICASSO.  Please pass this information along to any rising sophomore, junior or senior that you believe might be interested.
