Applications are invited from undergraduates to participate in the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Summer Intern Program at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA.
Pending funding, we anticipate offering ten astronomical research positions during the summer of 2013. The program will likely run 10 weeks from June 9 - August 16, depending on the availability of Harvard housing. Please check these pages for date updates.
Research opportunities may exist in all areas of astrophysics, including observational and theoretical cosmology, extra-galactic and galactic astronomy, interstellar medium and star formation, laboratory astrophysics, supernovae and supernova remnants, and planetary science.
The program hopes to provide students with the opportunity to present a paper at a scientific meeting, given the availability of funding.
The stipend is expected to be $5000.00 for the summer. Housing and travel will be subsidized.
Summer Interns are required to write a research-style paper (approximately 10 pages long) over the course of the summer and to present the results of their work in the form of a 15 minute oral presentation at an "Intern Symposium" at the end of the summer.

Other formats are not readable after upload. Do NOT have letters sent by FAX or ordinary email. They will not be accepted.
By agreement between all astronomy REU program directors, notification of applicants regarding their status and offers for astronomy internships for the Summer 2013 will begin on March 1, 2013. Please see Frequently Asked Questions FAQ #38-#42 for more information.
