Emory University: Computational Methods for Data Science REU
The new REU Site Computational Methods for Data Science within the Department of Mathematics at Emory University has several funded opportunities for undergraduate summer research. The site will be held in conjunction with the Emory Research Experience for Teachers that provides additional funding for in-service high school teachers. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation award DMS 2051019.
Our site's core activity is a six-week on-site research and training that will be hosted at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. This activity is preceded by a three-week virtual pre-REU/RET phase that focuses on team building, on-demand teaching of advanced mathematical concepts, and finalizing the design of the research projects. During the on-campus phase, the teams will work on their research project and receive mentorship from faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
The pre-REU/RET phase will start on May 24 and (subject to covid restrictions) the on-campus phase will begin on June 14.
We particularly encourage women, students from underrepresented groups, first-generation college students, and institutions where research programs in STEM are limited to apply.
Supported participants will receive a stipend of $3,600, travel support of up to $800 to and from Emory, and free on-campus accommodations.
Eligibility and Application
•Students must be enrolled in an undergraduate program at a US institution.
• US citizenship or permanent residency is preferred but not required (i.e., we have limited funds to support international students that are currently enrolled at a US institution).
• Participants need to be able to commit some time during the pre-REU/RET phase between May 24 and June 11 (no more than one-hour synchronous activity per week) and must be available full-time between June 14 and July 30.
