Description:
This NSF funded summer training program is designed for students enrolled in undergraduate studies in mathematics, engineering, biology, chemistry, physics or other related sciences, including computer and computational studies. Students must be US citizens or permanent resident to apply, must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and have completed the equivalent of 2 semesters of college-level calculus and programming.

iCER ACRES is designed to give students experience in conducting computational and data science research through a wide variety of projects including: computational biology, computational physics, computational chemistry, computational mathematics, engineering, environmental data analytics and bioinformatics. The main emphasis is on students gaining broad research computing skills, but the program also includes informal lunches with faculty and graduate students, research talks, social activities, and a poster symposium.

Selected students are expected to participate the full 10 weeks of the program and work at least 40hours/week. In addition to the application, students must also provide a short personal statement, resume/CV, official transcripts, and 2 letters of reference. Applications must include all materials to be considered.

iCER ACRES provides participants with housing and meals on campus in addition to a stipend of $5,000 . Limited travel assistance will also be available.
