RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT THE SANTA FE
INSTITUTE 2004
DESCRIPTION:
Undergraduate students work with faculty mentors on an individual
project focusing on some aspect of the computational properties of
complex systems. SFI's broad program of research is aimed at
understanding both the common features of complex systems and at
comprehending the enormous diversity of specific examples. Projects
focus on adaptive computation; physics, mathematics, information
science, and computational aspects of complexity; economics as a
complex, adaptive system; and the life sciences including modeling of
the immune system, theoretical neurobiology, genetic data analysis,
theoretical ecology, and models of protein folding.
This program is highly individualized. Each student works with one or
more faculty mentors on a specific mutually-selected project.
Participants are expected to be in residence approximately 10 weeks,
within an approximate mid-May to mid-August window. Internships may be
part- or full-time, although it is likely that most summer students will
hold full-time positions.
SUPPORT:
Interns receive living stipends (from which housing costs are deducted)
during their stay, along with some support of round-trip travel expenses
from their home institution. The Institute will make appropriate,
affordable, shared housing arrangements in Santa Fe for REU interns.
Because Santa Fe lacks a full public transportation system, rental cars
are provided to participants on a shared basis. Those interns who can
bring their private transportation are urged to do so.
ELIGIBILITY:
This program is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents only. For
the purposes of this program an undergraduate student is a student who
is enrolled in a degree program (part-time or full-time) leading to a
bachelor's degree. Students who are transferring from one institution to
another and are enrolled at neither institution during the intervening
summer may participate. 2004 graduating college seniors are not eligible
for this program; nor are graduating high school students who have not
yet enrolled as undergraduates.
Mathematical or computational skills or experience (particularly
knowledge of the rudiments of the Unix operating system and/or a
programming language such as C) are favorably considered.
TO APPLY:
Provide a current resume, official transcript, and a statement of your
current research interests and what you intend to accomplish during your
internship. Also, please arrange for three letters of recommendation
from scholars who know your work.
