They will potentially work at the George Mason University site (Fairfax, VA) or the Harvard University site (Cambridge, MA), depending on funding availability from NSF. In compliance with social distancing guidelines of the two universities during the COVID-19 pandemic, the selected REUs may work remotely from other locations within the USA.<o:p></o:p> This opportunity is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) I/UCRC and Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Programs, which enable undergraduate students to obtain research experience and consider a career path in spatiotemporal domains (e.g., CS, GIS, Geosciences, etc.). NSF REU fellows will work in a team with graduate students, postdocs, research staff and faculty at one of the center sites and will conduct research related to spatiotemporal issues. NSF REU fellows also have the opportunity to attend a professional conference to present their research results. Fellows may participate in a variety of research projects.<o:p></o:p> Requirements:<o:p></o:p> <ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#444444;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;background:white"> Applicants must be currently enrolled undergraduate students.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#444444;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;background:white"> U.S. citizen or permanent resident status is required.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#444444;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;background:white"> Applicants should be able to work as NSF REU fellows for at least 7 consecutive weeks.
