Application deadline - February 26, 2010

The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research at Washington State University is seeking motivated undergraduate students interested in atmospheric science and air quality engineering to participate in a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program supported by the National Science Foundation. The program will run from June 3 to August 6, 2010, on the campus of Washington State University in Pullman, WA.

Participants will receive a stipend plus all housing and travel costs.

A goal of this program is to select a student group that reflects diversity in terms of ethnicity and gender, and includes students that would not otherwise have exposure to research. Freshman and sophomore undergraduates are especially encouraged to apply. To receive NSF/REU funding, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate, and will not have received your Bachelor's
degree prior to June 2010.
