[Risa Myers]

Rice University welcomes undergraduate applicants to apply for a paid summer research internship providing one-one-one access to faculty and mentors for an immersive, cutting-edge data science experience. The 10-week program runs from Monday, May 23, 2022 to Friday, July 29, 2022 and takes place on campus in Houston, TX. 

Participants will receive a $6000 stipend, $400 for travel expenses (if traveling from outside of Houston), and complimentary on-campus accommodations.

Sample research opportunities could include designing and implementing new machine learning algorithms, applying machine learning algorithms to solve specific problems, or developing methods to manage huge data sets. Majors in computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or applied/pure mathematics are encouraged to apply. Some knowledge of computer programming in a language such as Python or Java is required. International students must be enrolled at a US university.

APPLY NOW at reuapply.rice.edu. Priority applications are due February 15, 2022 but will still be accepted until March 1, 2022. Questions can be sent to: Beth....@rice.edu. 

We currently plan to host students in person this summer on campus in Houston, TX. However, in case we are not able to host students due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the program will still take place and participants will participate remotely.
