The Research and Alliance in Math and Science (RAMS) Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory this summer is accepting applications. The program, for graduate and undergraduate students, runs from May 28-August 16 and is designed to provide collaborative research experiences among faculty and students at colleges or universities and DOE national laboratory researchers. Students who participate will contribute to on-going research projects in priority areas such as basic and applied mathematics, climate change, cyber security, data and knowledge discovery, computational biology, computational chemistry, computational materials sciences, visualization, computer science, and many more. Please see the attached recruitment letter.

Applications require a resume, a research proposal (students are encouraged to write this with their faculty advisors), a resume, and official transcripts, and are due February 28, 2013. Stipends for student participants begin at $10.50/hour and are dependent on qualifications, education, experience, and expertise; weekly housing allowance is $125; inbound and outbound travel reimbursement allowance is $1000 maximum per term.
