Sediment Transport Modeling REU: Summer 2022

This Research Experience for Undergraduate Students (REU) accompanies the University of Washington NSF-funded PREEVENTS project designed to understand geomorphically driven flood hazards. The project fundamentally revolves around the question: how do geomorphic processes such as landslides, river morphodynamics, and glacial retreat affect sediment supply into river networks and subsequent downstream flood-hazards? You can read more about the project here.

As a student researcher, you would be involved with modeling sediment transport through the Nooksack River network in Western Washington State. You would work to couple models of sediment delivery such as landsliding, to a sediment transport module in Python. Shelby Ahrendt & Jeff Keck, two Civil & Environmental Engineering graduate students working on the project, would be involved as mentors in this endeavor. Previous coding experience is a bonus, but we understand not all applicants may have a background in modeling!

The position would offer full-time (40 h/week) funding in the summer. If you are interested, please apply through the following link: https://forms.gle/eg9bem4obS6x1yUX7 Applications are due on June 1st at 5pm!. If you have any questions please email Prof Erkan Istanbulluoglu, erkani@uw.edu.

CEE Students,

At the request of one of my faculty colleagues at Cal State LA, I have attached an REU opportunity for CE undergraduates related to Underground Infrastructure. The deadline date however is fast approaching – Feb. 15.

Dear Undergraduates,

Are you interested in natural hazards and looking for a paid research internship? The Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) is hosting in-person Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in summer 2022.

NHERI is a network of 11 sites and experimental facilities that research to mitigate the impact of natural hazards focusing on earthquake, wind, tsunami, coastal engineering, data management, cyberinfrastructure, reconnaissance, and simulation.

As part of the NHERI REU Summer Program, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funds undergraduate students from various undergraduate degrees (engineering, architecture, sciences, computer science, etc.) to research for ten weeks at one NHERI site or experimental facility. This funding includes a $5000 research stipend, a $2300 travel award, and a housing subsidy (the amount varies based on location).

Hello All,

We are less than 2 weeks away from the application deadline for the CEI and MEM-C research experiences for undergraduates at the University of Washington, and I am hoping you can help spread the word. Please see the information below and share with those who might be interested!

The application deadline for both programs is February 15 and the program runs from June 21 to August 19, 2022.

Clean Energy Bridge to Research (CEBR) is a summer program run by the University of Washington (UW) Clean Energy Institute (CEI) and Undergraduate Research Program, and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF CHE-1950904). It supports a select group of undergraduates to participate in authentic research in solar, energy storage, and grid technologies under the mentorship of UW’s world-class faculty and graduate students. The CEBR REU provides a stipend of $6,000, on-campus housing, $600 for food, and a travel allowance. https://www.cei.washington.edu/education/undergraduate-students/reu/

The University of Washington Molecular Engineering Materials Center (UW MEM·C) summer REU program is focused on exposing underrepresented minorities and veterans to a viable and relevant career pathway focused on materials and energy research. MEM·C is supported by NSF grant DMR-1719797. The MEM-C REU provides a stipend of $6,000, on-campus housing, $600 for food, and a travel allowance. https://uwmemc.org/education/programs/reu/

I am happy to answer any questions you may have!

Hello CEE Majors –

We wanted to remind you about a few research opportunities with application deadlines being due today, Tues, Feb 1^st:

• Kummer I&E Fellows Program – Up to 4 years duration. Application deadline is February 1^st, 2022. For more information, please click here.

• NSF REU Program @ UC San Diego – 8-month duration between June 19^th – August 13^th, 2022. Application deadline is February 1^st, 2022. For more information, please click here.

Applications are now open for two University of Washington summer research experiences for undergraduates (REU): the Molecular Engineering Materials Center (MEM-C) REU and the Clean Energy Bridge to Research (CEBR) Summer Program! Applications for both programs are due February 15, 2022.

University of Washington’s Molecular Engineering Materials Center (MEM-C) aims to accelerate the development of future energy conversion, information processing, and sensing technologies through design, discovery, processing, and application of complex electronic and photonic materials. The summer REU program is focused on exposing veterans and under-represented minorities to a viable and relevant career pathway focused on materials and energy research. Students will learn about relevant, state of the art content in future energy conversion, information processing, and sensing technologies through design, discovery, processing, and application of complex electronic and photonic materials.For more information on the program and how to apply, please visit: http://uwmemc.org/education/programs/reu/
