7-11 weeks from May 2023 to September 2023
The NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center (STC) is looking for several undergraduate research assistants to serve as NSF REU Fellows from May 2023 to September 2023 depending on your time availability. They will potentially work at the George Mason University site (Fairfax, VA) or the Harvard University site (Cambridge, MA), pending on funding availability from NSF.
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.

Interested students please email your application to STC email address (stc @ gmu.edu). The review of applications will start in early April of 2023, and end until the positions are filled. Please contact Dr. Chaowei Yang (cyang3 @ gmu.edu) or and Dr. Wendy Guan (wguan @ cga.harvard.edu) with questions about the NSF REU Summer Fellows in Geographic Information Science program at George Mason University or Harvard University respectively. We look forward to receiving your applications.
Note: The length of the REU term will depend on the pandemic situation and university policy this summer. We will follow each university’s guidelines for on-site or remote work arrangements when the time comes. If on-site is possible, the program will be a 7-week term, while if remote work is necessary, it could be up to 11-week term. Details will be discussed with the selected candidates during or after the interviews.
