SOARS is a summer research internship for students interested in the atmospheric and related sciences based at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (Boulder, Colorado). The program provides multiple years of summer research, strong mentoring and community support.
Students from many disciplines, including atmospheric sciences, meteorology, geography, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, ecology, computing, and the social sciences are invited to apply their expertise to understanding the Earth's Atmosphere and to use that understanding to improve life on Earth. In particular, SOARS seeks to involve students from groups that are historically under-represented in the sciences, including Black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, female, first-generation college students and students with disabilities. SOARS welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students; students who have experienced, and worked to overcome, educational or economic disadvantage and/or have personal or family circumstances that may complicate their continued progress in research careers.
Benefits in the summer include a competitive wage, housing, and travel to/from Boulder; as well as funding for conferences, undergraduate and graduate education throughout the year. Application deadline: Feb 1, 2016. To apply, please visit: www.soars.ucar.edu
