Undergraduate Student Opportunities


SIAM - Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is pleased to announce we are accepting applications for the SIAM-Simons Undergraduate Summer Research Program, which will provide research, networking, and mentorship opportunities to U.S. students from underrepresented groups. Participating students will receive a stipend of $1,000/week for eight weeks and will have their housing, meals, and travel expenses paid. This is an amazing opportunity for students to immerse themselves in applied math, computational science, and/or data science research while simultaneously participating in professional development and community-building activities designed to foster a strong sense of belonging.

Note that while all projects will have an applied math and/or computational science approach, students do not need to have an applied math background to apply. Projects appropriate for students at all undergraduate levels will be available, and prior research experience is not required.

LEARN MORE      flyer

Applications are due February 7 and supporting letters of recommendation are due February 12.

If you have questions, please reach out to programs@siam.org.

Funding for this program is generously provided by the Simons Foundation, whose mission is to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. Award number 1036702.

Want to Get Involved in research and Creative Opportunities?

Here's How!  
Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry!

Few activities are as intellectually rewarding as research. In addition to the acquisition of invaluable research skills, students will:

  • Improve communication skills
  • Gain skills in gathering and analyzing data
  • Develop creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity
  • Learn to work independently or in a group
  • Learn how knowledge is created and how that knowledge can be overturned with new evidence or perspectives
  • Get opportunities to present and publish their ideas

Undergraduate research can take place in  every  discipline. It is especially common in the life sciences and physical sciences, where an estimated 40 percent of students nationwide engage in research under faculty mentorship; it is also found in the humanities, social sciences, and creative and performing arts.
