Summer Research Opportunities
Summer Research Opportunities in Mathematics at CSB/SJU
The Mathematics Department has funding for two continuing CSB/SJU students to engage in undergraduate mathematics research in cooperation with faculty here. Also, students interested in mathematical biology or biostatistics can have their proposed advisors apply for Rooney funding. (Rooney funding happens quite early. Please contact faculty before January 31st.) Students interested in summer research should find a faculty sponsor in the Mathematics Department willing to work with the student. The student and faculty sponsor will choose one of the topics given below or propose another topic. The student then fills out the application on the last page and submits it (preferably electronically) with a supporting e-mail from the sponsoring mathematics professor to Bret Benesh by February 15, 2013. The department will contact the students chosen to receive funding by March 31, 2013. If you have further questions, contact Bret Benesh: e-mail: bbenesh@csbsju.edu.
Other Summer Research Opportunities
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs): sponsored by the National Science Foundation, these programs are located at many different colleges or universities. Room and Board and a stipend. Most (but not all) programs are designed for rising seniors and last 6 - 10 weeks.
ASA -- the American Statistical Association: The ASA posts a list of internships for those interested in statistics
CMOP -- Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction: This program in Beaverton, Oregon is an internship that would allow you to work with scientists to study coastal margin science.
IPAM (RIPS): This program at UCLA and other sites is like an REU but focuses on industrial problems. This is the only summer research program I know of that accepts international students.
MBI (Mathematical Biosciences Institute): MBI offers a 2 week or 6 week program that provides an overview of various topics, such as mathematical neuroscience, phylogenetics and bioinformatics. The 6 week program ends with a small research project.
MCTP at Texas A&M: This program, Mentoring through Critical Transition Points, is really three programs - one available to rising sophomores and up (a pre REU), one for rising seniors interested in graduate work in mathematics, and one for graduated students who are entering graduate school in the fall. Topics vary from year to year.
Nebraska Summer Research Program: This intensive summer research experience provides mentoring and research experiences while allowing scholars to preview graduate school life.
NIMBioS (National Institute for Biological and Mathematical Synthesis): NIMBios runs an REU and an annual undergraduate research conference.
Oakland University REU: Oakland University is offering an eight week program of research for undergraduates in Mathematics. They particularly encourage women to participate.
Pathways to Science: A website that contains links to REUs and other summer research opportunities.
SAMSI (Statistical and Applied Mathematics Institute): A week long program in May and two two-day programs during the academic year are offered. Intended for rising juniors and seniors, the topics vary but are intended to give students some introduction to and experience with "real" applications of statistics and applied mathematics.
SURF: SURF offers projects in biomedical research, including biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, etc.
Other Opportunities for Undergraduates
Budapest Semesters in Mathematics: Study abroad for one or two semesters in Budapest. Take math courses AND Hungarian (if you like). All courses are taught in English.
Park City Mathematics Institute: A seven week program focusing on one topic, which changes every year.
SIBS: A six week program training program in biostatistics at the University of South Florida.
Summer Program for Women in Mathematics at Carleton College: Intended for rising sophomore and junior women mathematics majors. You get paid to take two courses in four weeks.
Summer Program for Women in Mathematics at George Washington University: Intended for rising junior women mathematics majors. You get paid to take two courses in five weeks.
