Come discover the Oregon Coast!
From Estuaries to the Deep Sea…OSU’s Research Experience for Undergraduates…
Are you a Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Earth Sciences, Computer Science major? Take advantage of the opportunity to gain research experience while exploring the exciting interdisciplinary field of ocean science research!
Oregon State University is offering summer marine science internships to 18 college students through its Research experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport and College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences in Corvallis. The 10-week program matches qualified students with faculty mentors representing a wide range of ocean science research interests, including: Cetacean/Fisheries Conservation Genetics; Marine Aquaculture; Physical, Chemical and Biological Oceanography; Marine Geology; Coastal Ecology; Marine Renewable Energy; Marine Biological Invasions; Satellite Remote Sensing and many others.
The Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) is a 49-acre research and education campus on Oregon’s central coast, with modern laboratory facilities, a world-class marine science library, and five state and federal agencies co-located on site with easy access to the “living laboratory” of Oregon’s coastal estuaries and the ocean. Scientists representing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife, USDA, EPA, NOAA Fisheries, and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife serve with OSU faculty as mentors in the REU program. Situated on the south shore of Newport’s picturesque Yaquina Bay, the HMSC provides easy access to the ocean and estuary for field research and recreational activities alike. On the OSU main campus in Corvallis, the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences trains the next generation of Biological, Chemical, Geological and Physical Oceanographers and Earth System Scientists, offering opportunities or interdisciplinary research in world-class labs and facilities.
Oregon State University Ocean Sciences REU Program:
• 10-week summer program, June 18 – August 24, 2012
• Stipend $5450, onsite housing, round-trip travel costs
• Detailed Program Information: http://hmsc.oregonstate.edu/REU/index.html

| The Summer@ICERM program is designed for a select group of 10-12 undergraduate scholars. Students will work in small groups of two or three, supervised by a faculty advisor and aided by a teaching assistant. The faculty advisors will describe a variety of enticing open questions in geometry and in dynamical systems of geometric origin.
Topics discussed will include Euclidean, hyperbolic and projective geometry, iteration of geometric constructions, and mathematical billiards. A variety of activities around these research themes will allow participants to engage in collaborative research, communicate and examine their findings in formal and informal settings, and report-out their findings with a finished product.
The Application Process
The Summer@ICERM program is open to all students who will be active undergraduates during summer, 2012. Applications are now open at Mathprograms.org. Please search under “Brown University” or click on the following Summer@ICERM application link: http://www.mathprograms.org/db/ICERM
*Brown University UTRA students must also complete a Brown UTRA application form, indicating interest in the Summer@ICERM program. Accepted Brown University UTRA students receive only a $3,000 stipend.
All application materials are due by February 10, 2012.
SUMMER@ICERM
Funding Includes:
– $3,000 stipend
– Travel Expenses
– Dormitory housing
– Meal plan
Organizers

Topics for Research Projects
In this research program, we will stress open questions which are expected to be accessible via mathematical methods available to undergraduates. Problems have been selected in each of three categories.
– Billiards and related systems
– Geometry
– Algebraic Geometry
ICERM’s Mission
The mission of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) is to support and broaden the relationship between mathematics and computation: specifically, to expand the use of computational and experimental methods in mathematics, to support theoretical advances related to computation, and address problems posed by the existence and use of the computer through mathematical tools, research

Lloyd V. Berkner Space Policy Internships 2012
The Space Studies Board’s Lloyd V. Berkner Space Policy Internships are offered twice annually. The summer program is restricted to undergraduates, and the autumn program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
The deadline for applications for the summer 2012 program is February 3, 2012. Successful candidates will be contacted by March 2, 2012. Applications for the autumn 2012 program will be accepted from April 1, 2012, until June 1, 2012. Successful candidates will be contacted by July 6, 2012. Additional information about the program, including the application procedure, can be found at
http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/ssb_052239
About the Program
The goal of the Lloyd V. Berkner Space Policy Internship is to provide promising undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to work in the area of civil space research policy in the nation’s capital, under the aegis of the Space Science Board. Established in 1958 to serve as the focus of the interests and responsibilities in space research for the National Academies, the Board provides an independent, authoritative forum for information and advice on all aspects of space science and applications, and it serves as the focal point within the National Academies for activities on space research. It oversees advisory studies (principally, the decadal surveys) and program assessments, facilitates international research coordination, and promotes communications on space science and science policy between the research community, the federal government, and the interested public. The SSB also serves as the U.S. National Committee for the International Council for Science (ICSU) Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).

EPA’s P3 – People, Prosperity, and the Planet—Program is a unique college competition for designing solutions for a sustainable future. P3 offers students quality hands-on experience that brings their classroom learning to life.
The competition has two phases. For the first phase of the competition, teams are awarded a $15,000 grant to develop their idea. They bring the design in April to the National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington DC to compete for the P3 Award and a grant of $90,000 to take their design to real world application.
Closing date: December 22, 2011
