The Lamat REU program aims to increase retention, graduation rates, and PhD admission for students enrolled in two-year or four-year colleges. Program participants engage in inquiry-based learning in astronomy and planetary sciences using state-of-the-art astrophysical simulations as a common pillar. We accept applications from all undergraduate students, but we particularly encourage students from community colleges to apply.
If selected, participants are strongly encouraged to attend a “Winter Science Computational Boot Camp” that prepares them for the summer program. This year’s Boot Camp will be held January 4-7, 2023 at UC Santa Cruz. A stipend, transporation, and lodging will be provided for participants. Alternative structures of support will be implemented for participants that are engaged in classes during the boot camp.
Lamat’s 2023 eight-week summer program will run from June 26 to August 18, 2023. A stipend be provided for participation in Lamat.
Applications for Lamat Summer 2023 are now closed.
We will let applicants know within the first two weeks of December 2022.
Thank you for your interest in the Lamat REU.
