NSF REU Summer Program Software Safety and Reliability Applications Open

The Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Dallas will conduct a ten-week summer research program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for ten undergraduates from May 20 to July 28, 2022. The focus is on "software safety and reliability," however the technology skills learned by the students have general applicability to research and practice in their future studies.

In addition to work on assigned research projects at UTD, special seminars by industry advisors will be arranged to help the students better understand how software safety and reliability is adopted in practice for real-life applications. This also gives students a chance to directly communicate with practitioners to receive a first-hand account of the work environments and lifestyles in the industry.

2022 summer Psychology Research Experience Program (PREP)

Applications are open for the 2022 summer Psychology Research Experience Program (PREP) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Please feel free to share with students and faculty across your departments.

The Psychology Research Experience Program (PREP: https://psych.wisc.edu/nsf-reu-site-psychology-research-experience-program/) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison provides intensive mentoring and experience in scientific research and professional development to undergraduates from historically underrepresented populations — those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, those from low-income backgrounds, those with disabilities, and first-generation college students — who have expressed and demonstrated an interest in a career in scientific psychology. Accepted students will be paired with either graduate or post-doctoral research mentors under the supervision of departmental faculty allowing the student to become integrated within their respective host labs. We also connect our incoming cohort with distanced mentorship by former PREP students through our growing network of scholars.
