Dear HUCE Faculty Associates:
This is the time of year when we begin planning for our summer research
grant program for undergraduates. The Center’s Undergraduate Summer
Research Fund
<http://environment.harvard.edu/student-resources/undergraduate-summer-research-fund>
offers
undergraduates funding to work individually, under faculty supervision, on
research projects (often in preparation for a thesis) or as research
assistants on projects with Harvard faculty.
*For the RA positions, we need to compile a list of RA opportunities for
the students to apply to*. We are thus asking you to consider providing a
short paragraph describing a potential summer research project – *relating
to an important environmental challenge* – that would benefit from student
research support while providing an interesting research experience.
These positions are generally in the range of six to ten weeks in duration.
Students will find these opportunities on our website and the website of
the Office of Career Services. They will apply with a brief essay, a
transcript, information on their summer expenses and financial aid needs,
and a short letter of support from the sponsoring faculty member. We aim
to have decisions on the summer grants by mid-April.
We will start advertising our summer grant programs in early February,
after students have returned to campus, so please send in your RA position
ideas as soon as possible. This message will reply to our Educational
Programs Manager, Eric Simms<esimms(a)fas.harvard.edu
<javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','esimms@fas.harvard.edu');>>,
who will collect
these job descriptions and post them, after an internal review, as they
come in. Please feel free to send questions to me.
Best,
Jim
