Internship and Research Opportunities

ACRES is a 10-week summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in computational and data science hosted at Michigan State University. Research projects focus on applying computation to a variety of scientific disciplines, including computational chemistry, biology, astrophysics, mathematics, science education, and earth/climate sciences. Students will learn how to develop algorithms, models, and software for problems that require high-performance computing resources.

HS-POWER is open to students majoring in a broad spectrum of homeland security related STEM disciplines as well as DHS mission-relevant research areas which includes social sciences.

As a participant in the HS-POWER Program, you will participate in quality research experiences with federal research facilities and other DHS-STEM focused entities nationwide. You will establish connections with DHS professionals that facilitate long-term relationships as you move forword towards your career.

For undergraduate juniors and seniors, MCHC/RISE-UP is a national consortium of institutions that offers public health leadership learning experiences in clinical, research, and community engagement and advocacy areas. All scholars interested in reducing health disparities and promoting social justice, especially scholars from underrepresented populations in the field of public health, are strongly encouraged to apply.

Over the course of these ten weeks, undergraduate students will work one-on-one with MSU physics-astronomy faculty members. Undergraduate students who are taking/have completed introductory and advanced physics courses are encouraged to apply. Dates for the program will be May 28 to August 2, 2024. Students will receive a stipend of $7000 plus full room and board. Travel expenses will be reimbursed up to $600. Applications are due February 2.

The Plant Genomics @ MSU REU Program is a 10-week research experience that provides participants with insight into scientific research, graduate school & STEM careers. Participants work on a research project with a faculty mentor. The program provides opportunities for training in computational biology & science communication. We host seminars, networking & social activities. $6000 stipend + campus housing + meals + travel support. Program dates May 20–July 26, 2024. Apply by February 5, 2024.

The Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is one of the longest running summer program experiences of its kind in the nation! We welcome applicants at the baccalaureate or master’s level who are enrolled in a health- or S.T.E.M.-focused major that aspire to pursue health-related graduate/professional studies in the future. SPUR provides participants with a $4,500 stipend and fully-furnished housing accommodations. Learn more at mcw.edu/spur.

The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) is a signature program of the College of Graduate Studies. Undergraduate students, usually rising juniors and seniors, from all over the country come to MUSC for a PAID 10-week, research-intensive experience. A customized didactic program introduces students to foundational and cutting-edge concepts in biomedical science and either neuroscience, cancer biology, or cardiovascular biology. The keystone of the program, however, is an immersive research experience in an MUSC laboratory. In addition, a number of social events foster a sense of community, and students present their research in a celebratory symposium at the end of the program. Finally, SURP participants can receive up to 15 credits at their home institution.

The CDA REU program is a 10-week paid on-site opportunity hosted by the Center for Digital Agriculture at the UIUC. It brings together students with backgrounds in computation, agriculture, and biosystems and provides valuable hands-on training to work in academia, industry, and beyond.

This program is designed to equip REU participants with the necessary skills to work across disciplines and empower them to address grand challenges in their future careers careers with robust problem-solving.
