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.
