SIAM-Simons Undergraduate Summer Research Program
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is accepting applications for the SIAM-Simons Undergraduate Summer Research Program, which will provide research, networking, and mentorship opportunities to U.S. students from underrepresented groups.
Each year, the SIAM-Simons Undergraduate Summer Research Program will establish five sites across the United States for a six-week program of research and learning in applied mathematics and computational science. One faculty mentor and two students at each site will work together for these six weeks. Students will learn how to conduct scientific research, effectively communicate mathematics and computational science principles, and will gain an improved understanding of how they can pursue a career in applied mathematics and computational science. Students and mentors from the five sites will come together via video conference to present their work, participate in professional development activities, and engage in community-building initiatives to bring all participants together and foster a strong sense of belonging.
Participating students will receive a stipend of $1,000/week and will have their housing, meals, and travel expenses paid. In addition to the stipend and expenses paid, students will visit the Flatiron Institute – a research division of the Simons Foundation – in Manhattan, and will attend the 2024 SIAM Annual Meeting in Spokane, WA.
This is an amazing opportunity for students to immerse themselves in applied math, computational science, and/or data science research while simultaneously participating in professional development and community-building activities designed to foster a strong sense of belonging. Note that while all projects will have an applied math and/or computational science approach, students do not need to have an applied math background to apply. Projects appropriate for students at all undergraduate levels will be available, and prior research experience is not required.
The application form is available; review of applications will begin March 6, but applications will be considered until all spaces are filled.
