Announcing the 2009 National Weather Center
Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (NWC REU)
Are you an undergraduate student, or do you know one, looking for
research experience in meteorology or a closely related discipline?
Then the NWC REU may be just what you are looking for.
In the
NWC REU, students are paired with mentors from the local weather
community, including the University
of Oklahoma, NOAA,
and several
private weather companies. During the course of the summer, students
work with their mentors on small research projects of mutual interest
and then present their work at a professional conference. Students also
have the opportunity to attend several workshops, which have in the
past included: interviewing, statistics, programming, paper-writing,
and other professional
development activities. This 10-week program
offers a stipend, subsistence, travel allowance, and housing for the
duration of the program.
The NWC REU offers both a great
research opportunity and a way of expanding your ever important network
of contacts in this small field.
If this sounds interesting to you, please find more information on our
