Subject: [UCGIS] Undergraduate Research Fellow at NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center - summer 2022
NSF REU Fellow Opportunity
7-11 weeks from May to September 2022
The NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center (STC) is looking for several undergraduate research assistants to serve as NSF
REU Fellows from May to September 2022. They will potentially work at the George Mason University site (Fairfax, VA) or the Harvard University site (Cambridge, MA), depending on funding availability from NSF. In compliance with social distancing guidelines
of the two universities during the COVID-19 pandemic, the selected REUs may work remotely from other locations within the USA.
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.
Requirements:
A complete application includes:
Selection process:
There will be three steps for selecting the students:
Interested students please email your application to Dr. Qian Liu (qliu6 @ masonlive.gmu.edu) and Dr. Wendy Guan (wguan

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 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 will
be a 11-week term. Details will be discussed with the selected candidates during or after the interviews.
George Mason University and Harvard University are equal opportunity/affirmative action employers. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration as NSF REU follows without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age or protected veteran status.
