Apply Now for Summer Research Opportunity Internships

The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) and the Alliance Partners for Advanced Computational Services (PACS) are collaborating this summer to offer a Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP) to interest talented women and undergraduate minority students in the computational sciences. The SROP is an excellent opportunity for participants to enhance their preparation for graduate study and academic careers through intensive research experiences with faculty members.

Women and minority students with research interests in computer science, computational sciences, chemistry, and mathematics are encouraged to apply. Use the forms available online at the CIC website. The deadline for submitting applications is May 14, 1999.

With funding from Alliance PACS partners and other interested Alliance teams, CIC is extending their existing SROP to include comptational sciences. Some Alliance-funded SROP participants may be selected from those students who have already applied to the program by CIC's original deadline.

Faculty members who are current Alliance-allocated users and are interested in serving as mentors for the duration of the 6-week program are encouraged to contact CIC's Barbara Fossum.
