<div>Dear Colleagues - Please bring this REU opportunity to the
attention of your juniors and sophomores.</div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div><b>Introduction:</b></div>
<div>The National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma, invites
motivated undergraduate students interested in a career in scientific
research or secondary science education to apply for a 10-week summer
research program. The 10-week program will run from May 26 - August
1, 2008*. A stipend of $4,200, $1575 subsistence (for housing and
food), and $500 travel allowance will be provided. Participants will
also receive a travel allowance to present their work at a
professional conference.</div>
<div><i>*Students at schools on quarter systems will be accommodated.
Please let us know the dates you are available in the Concerns or
Comments section.</i></div>
<div><b>Scope:</b></div>
<div>Participants conduct a short scientific research project under
the supervision of a mentor from one of the University of Oklahoma or
NOAA facilities in Norman (see <a
href="http://nwc.ou.edu">http://nwc.ou.edu</a> for links/information).
At the end of the 10-week program participants prepare and present a
paper reporting the results of their work. Research experience is
supplemented by workshops, field trips, lectures, tours of OU and NOAA
facilities, and a variety of social activities. Research topics may
include any of the current research efforts and depend on mentor
volunteers. Possible outcomes of the program include a participant
liking research and meteorology, liking the nature of research but not
meteorology, or realizing a career in research is not for them. Any of
these outcomes is acceptable!</div>
<div><b>Eligibility:</b></div>
<div>Students must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program
through the summer of 2008 and be a US citizen or permanent resident.
If you are graduating from a community, tribal, or other 2-year
college you are eligible so long as you have enrolled in a 4-year
institution to complete an undergraduate degree. Applications from
women and minorities are particularly encouraged. The University of
Oklahoma is an equal opportunity institution.</div>
