[ES_JOBS_NET] New multi-institution paid undergraduate research opportunity in geosciences

[Karen McKinnon]

Dear colleagues,

We are writing today to bring your attention to a new summer internship
program debuting this year called URG2: Undergraduate Research in the
Geosciences for Under-represented Groups sponsored by the David and Lucile
Packard Foundation. This program strives to broaden participation in Earth
Science research by creating summer research and mentorship opportunities
with current Geoscience Packard Fellows
<https://www.packard.org/what-we-fund/science/packard-fellowships-for-science-and-engineering/about-the-packard-fellowship-awards/>
.

The program features a one week intensive mentoring experience with all
program participants near Mount Rainier, a 7 week research internship, and
a $7,000 stipend for the summer. Supervised by participating Packard Fellows
<https://urg2.earth/our-team>, research internships will take place at the
fellows’ home institution (with virtual options in some cases), with
support for travel and local housing for student interns provided by the
program. The cohort of student interns will meet virtually throughout the
summer for professional development, networking, and scientific
skill-building activities. This program is open to any undergraduate
student currently enrolled in a U.S. 2-year or 4-year institution. No prior
coursework in earth sciences is required.



The application is available here <https://urg2.earth/learn-more> and is
due on February 25, 2022, 11:59pm PST.

For additional information and important deadlines please see our website (
urg2.earth).

Please distribute this information to students in your network who might
benefit from this opportunity.

Best,

Karen McKinnon, on behalf of the URG2 team
