For Undergraduate Sophomore & Junior females (majoring in chemistry, physics, materials science or engineering, computer science or engineering, chemical, electrical, mechanical engineering):
Research Internship
The American Physical Society and IBM co-sponsor a research internship program for undergraduate women. The goal is to encourage women students to pursue graduate studies in science and engineering.
Award
The internships are salaried positions typically 10 weeks long at one of three IBM research locations (San Jose, CA, Austin, TX, or Yorktown Heights, NY), and include in addition a $2,500 grant, plus the opportunity to work with an IBM mentor. The Watson lab has a full range of research, as does the Almaden lab, and the Austin lab focuses on software and systems. Research areas of the internship are individually chosen so as to optimize the match between the skills and interests of the student, and the ongoing research programs of the laboratory.
The starting and ending dates are chosen so as not to conflict with the student's school schedule. Assistance in finding and renting housing will be provided. Applications for summer 2008 will be due February 1, 2008, and notification of results will begin in early April.
Eligibility
-- Must be female with sophomore or junior standing at a US college or university at the time of application
-- Must be majoring in chemistry, physics, materials science or engineering, computer science or engineering, chemical, electrical, mechanical engineering
-- Must have a minimum 3.0 GPA
-- No citizenship restriction

APS/IBM Research Internship for Undergraduate Women

The Earth Institute @ Columbia University
Special Concentration in Sustainable Development
Undergraduate Discussion Panel
Attention Undergraduates! Are you interested in the new Special Concentration in Sustainable Development but unsure of how to apply this type of specialization? Would you like to learn more about the research and career opportunities in this field?
If so, the Earth Institute would like to invite you to our undergraduate-centered discussion panel entitled ‘A Future in Sustainable Development’, to be held on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. The panel will feature four third-year doctoral students from the PhD program in Sustainable Development; the background and research interests of these students varies tremendously, and attendees will have the opportunity to hear about such topics as climate change and natural catastrophes risk management, the interaction between epidemiology and poverty (e.g. in the case of malaria), political dimensions of health equity and exploring new approaches to the analysis of economic and environmental issues.
This event was specifically designed for undergraduates who are interested in the new special concentration, and will provide an opportunity for students to ask questions about research and career opportunities in sustainable development, and to hear from doctoral students in the only Sustainable Development program of its kind in the world. The PhD students will be a great source of information for those interested in this exciting new field, and we hope that you will consider joining us.
This event will be held on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:00 – 7:00pm in room 1118 of the International Affairs building.
If you have questions or would like to RSVP, please contact Amanda McIntosh at 212-854-8177 or ajm2137@columbia.edu.
