In addition to their research, students will participate in a series of group activities including lectures, roundtables, workshops and one or two field trips.

For each participant, a stipend of $7,000 will be provided for the ten-week session, plus $1,250 for housing and meals and up to $800 for travel to and from Ithaca. The program will also provide up to $1,000 to travel to present results at a professional meeting, observe or other research-related activities. Tentative program dates, to be confirmed by February 28, 2025, are Monday, June 2, 2025, to Friday, August 8, 2025. In case of conflict with a student’s academic schedules, dates may be adjusted if approved by the student’s mentor.

To be eligible, undergraduate students must be US citizens or permanent residents. Eligible candidates must have completed at least one year of undergraduate academic training by June 2025 and will graduate at or after the end of the 2025 fall semester or quarter at their school.

Astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, physics, geophysics, computer science and engineering students are encouraged to apply.

REU projects offer an opportunity to explore the nation’s diverse student talent pool and broaden participation in science and engineering. Women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, veterans and other non-traditional students are encouraged to apply.

Subject: First announcement: NOIRLab REU Program in Chile for Summer 2025

Date: July 9, 2024 at 11:50:46 AM CDT

To: undisclosed-recipients:;

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the NOIRLab Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at our site in La Serena, Chile. Building on the success of the former NOAO REU program, this initiative will commence in the 2025 Chilean summer (January – March).

This unique program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to:

• Work closely with a NOIRLab research mentor on an exciting research topic.

• Experience professional astronomy observing firsthand.

In addition, the program includes:

• An introduction to coding in Python for astronomy.

• A comprehensive professional development program.

• Chile-specific astronomy-related enrichment activities designed to enhance understanding and appreciation of the local and cultural context in which astronomy operates.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with the cutting-edge techniques of modern astrophysics while developing critical thinking, data analysis, teamwork, science communication, and other professional skills applicable to a wide array of careers in STEM. Students will be based in La Serena and will receive a stipend and housing on the NOIRLab campus.

Application Deadline: 23 September 2024

For further details and to apply, please visit our website:

Who should apply to the Fellows program? – Are you reasonably
comfortable with basic programming through skills acquired (for
example) from coursework or dedicated training activities? Are you
interested in building on those skills to gain experience through
contributions to cutting edge open source research software projects?
Then the IRIS-HEP Fellows program could be for you. Prior physics
knowledge is helpful, but not required. We will also offer dedicated
training activities to help you improve specific software skills.
Applications from women and members of underrepresented groups in
STEM activities are particularly encouraged.
