Hey all,

This is an AMAZING opportunity for students to spend up to two weeks on a 274-foot research vessel in the summer. They love having Engineering students participate. 

If you have ever wondered what it is like to participate on a sea-going oceanographic research cruise onboard a global class ship using an underwater robotic vehicle diving to depths of 10,000 ft, please consider applying to the UW VISIONS’24 program. There are no requirements, and the program is open to all UW students no matter what your major is. There will be 3 legs of the cruise onboard the UW 274 ft-long R/V Atlantis a global class research ship hosting the robotic vehicle Jason. The Atlantis also hosts the 3-person submarine Alvin. Each leg will be ~ 8-12 days long starting August 10 until September 14, 2024. Students can participate on one or more legs. There are no costs to students and transportation is provided to/from the ship (Seattle to Newport, OR). 

This is the annual maintenance cruise for the largest underwater observatory (called the Regional Cabled Array) in the oceans directly connected to the Internet. Team members include engineers and scientists from the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and School of Oceanography, as well as the ship and ROV Continue reading →

Taiwan Summer Internship Program 2024

Students,

The Mountain Hydrology Research Group (https://depts.washington.edu/mtnhydr/ ) is looking to hire 1 to 2 undergraduate research assistants to start in January 2024 and continue until the end of fall quarter 2024 (with possible extension beyond).   Students will be engaged in an active program of research examining snow and water processes in mountains.

Students are expected to attend weekly group meetings (currently 10:30-11:30 am on Fridays, adjusted each quarter based on class schedules) and individual check-ins (weekly or bi-weekly, to be scheduled).  Pay rate is $18.69/hr.  Interested students should send a 1-page cover letter, in which the student introduces themselves and why they want the job, and 1-page resume, including relevant coursework, GPA, and work experience, via e-mail to Professor Jessica Lundquist at jdlund@uw.edu .  The e-mail must include the subject line “Undergrad Job Application” and the body of the e-mail should specify which dates and times the student would be available for an interview, preferably in person but may be on zoom, during the week of December 4 to December 8.  Applications received by November 30 will be given preference, although the position will be open until filled.  Students early in their university career (freshman, sophomores) are especially encouraged to apply.

A specific job description follows, but this may be adjusted based on applicant interest and group needs.

Hello CEE Majors –

Are you interested in natural hazards research from an engineering or social science perspective?

Did you know most participants in the NHERI REU Summer Program have not participated in research before their summer experience?

Learn more about National Science Foundation’s NHERI REU program.

The NHERI Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program offers funded research opportunities at 11 multi-hazard engineering sites during a 10-week summer research program. Study earthquake, wind, tsunami, coastal engineering, data management, cyberinfrastructure, post reconnaissance, simulation, or social science topics. Travel funding provided, a housing subsidy, and a $6000 stipend for the 10-week summer program. Underrepresented minority, women, and military veteran undergraduate students are encouraged to apply.

Attend the one of four REU Virtual Information Sessions on Tuesday, October 24, November 14, December 12, 2023, or January 23, 2024, 5:00 – 6:00 pm Central Time.
