Note: this opportunity encourages applications from community college students.

Description:
Summer research opportunities are available for 10-12 undergraduate interns through the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Sciences (CICOES). Interns are matched with a research project within one of nine research themes and work with a CICOES, NOAA, or University of Washington scientist at either the UW campus or the NOAA Northwest Regional Center in Seattle.

Students will receive a stipend of $600 per week. CICOES also covers the cost of travel to and from Seattle and provides housing on the University of Washington campus.

As a research intern you will work closely with a mentor, often within the context of a research team, to conduct a research project related to you specific interests. Depending on the project, the summer may involve hands-on experience in the field or laboratory, or both.

At the end of the summer interns will design a research poster displaying the results of their work. They will also create a three-minute video summarizing their experience over the summer. Each intern will present their poster and video during a program the final week of the internship that will be open to the CICOES community as well as student’s family and friends.

There will also be weekly seminars that each intern is expected to attend. Seminars feature guest speakers discussing topics such as:

-The Arctic, a Harbinger for Global Climate Change

-How to Create a Successful Research Poster

-Sights and Sounds of the Bering Sea

-The Journey of an Atmospheric Chemist
