IRIS Undergraduate Internship Program

Here is an opportunity sent to me by one of our alumni. It's not research and it requires living in Albuquerque, which I think of as a plus, but its a great group to work with! ;)

Because the pandemic has pushed back the start date for the spring semester at many institutions, the IRIS internship program will accept student applications through February 8th. Letters of recommendation will still be due by February 15th. Thus, If you have just heard about the program, we would welcome your application!

Recent alumni, here is a grad school opportunity that may be of interest to you! Especially if a possible opportunity to get to Antarctica is on your bucket list!

The Department of Geological Sciences at The University of Alabama (UA) seeks a motivated student who is interested in pursuing graduate studies in earthquake seismology. Full-time student support is available starting Fall 2021 to assist with projects focused on East Antarctic tectonics and seismicity (associated with NSF award 1914698). Possible research topics include, but are not limited to, seismic tomography, methods for Earth model comparison, and seismic event detection. Ph.D. applicants are preferred, but M.S. applicants are also welcome to apply. A strong background in mathematics and physics as well as excellent communication skills are required. Prior research experience and computer programming skills are beneficial.

Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae and cover letter to Dr. Samantha Hansen ([email protected]). Candidates should also follow the application procedures outlined by the UA Graduate School (https://graduate.ua.edu/prospective-students/apply-now/), and applications received by January 15, 2021 will receive priority. Applicants from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Our Seismology Skill Building Workshop has become a global effort with more than 60 countries represented!

The continued spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is generating increasing uncertainty across the many college campuses, USGS facilities, and national labs that collaborate with IRIS to offer our summer intern research program. This uncertainty has created significant complications for nearly all logistics and operations of the program and these complications can be expected to last well into the summer and possibly beyond. Therefore, it is with great regret that we announce that the IRIS Undergraduate Internship Program has been suspended for the summer of 2020. This decision was not an easy one as we recognize that this program provides valuable outside-the-classroom learning, direct research experience, financial support, community, and career development for the future of our field. However, we cannot in good conscience make offers for this summer, given the likelihood that many university campuses and research labs may be closed, particularly to outside students.

We are grateful for the continued interest from students and support from the entire IRIS community. We look forward to the continued development of the Next Generation of Seismologists in summer 2021.
