2018 NHERI REU application deadline: Feb. 1

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Dear NHERI faculty,

If you have students interested in solving challenges presented by
earthquakes, tsunamis, windstorms and coastal inundation, please recommend
they apply to the NHERI REU program.

For undergraduates in STEM majors, the 2018 NHERI REU program
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/reu/> presents a prime
opportunity for hands-on research experience in the field of *natural
hazards engineering*.

Over the course of the summer, students work side-by-side with earthquake,
wind, tsunami and coastal engineers, geoscientists, and data scientists –
all dedicated to mitigating the effects of natural hazards. Participants
deploy to one of NHERI’s 10 hazard-engineering,
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/facilities/experimental/>simulation
<https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/> and cyberinfrastructure facilities
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/about/designsafe/> around the country.

*The application deadline is* *February 1, 2018*.

The NHERI REU accepts applications from many majors — and may be of special
interest to students majoring in engineering, architecture, meteorology,
geoscience and computer science.

Benefits of the NHERI REU include:

   - Working with a faculty mentor to conduct research on an established
   NSF research project.
   - Networking with engineering researchers, graduate students, and
   high-achieving peers.
   - Mentoring and guidance with graduate school and career goals.
   - The opportunity to complete and present a paper based on the summer’s
   research.
   - A research stipend and travel funds to and from the research site.

The NHERI REU is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents currently
enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Women, veteran, and
underrepresented minority undergraduate students are encouraged to apply.
