I am familiar with both of these opportunities, having worked with the
first CPIMA teacher, Larry Johnson, from Aptos HS (summer 2000) and having
been a SJSU/IBM Teacher Intern at IBM Research in San Jose for three
summers. I have an article which will appear in the Journal of Chemical
Education in about two months on the SJSU/IBM program, I can send you a
draft. Just email me at:
or contact me for particulars. bob zafran, HS Teacher(Retired)
UNDERGRADUATE INTERNSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
at the
IBM ALMADEN RESEARCH CENTER
San Jose, California
NSF SPONSORED ACADEMIC/INDUSTRIAL SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
In these ten week internships, participants work directly with
research scientists in academic or industrial settings on projects spanning
basic science to applied technology. Each program has associated
activities for career enhancement and concludes with a poster session
scientific meeting. These programs are designed for students completing
their junior year, but outstanding students at any level in any field of
science and engineering are invited to apply. Applications from women and
from underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged. Participants
must be citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States.
"Analytical and Surface Chemistry of Materials" an NSF GOALI program
with the Department of Chemistry, San Jose State University, supports
collaborative research between the two institutions. Most of the summer
projects are at the IBM Almaden Research Center, and the program draws
undergraduates from across the United States. It is anticipated that
participants will have more than two years of chemistry, but applications
from outstanding students at any level in any area of science or
engineering are encouraged. Applications from students at primarily
undergraduate institutions and at community colleges are encouraged. The
program also has positions for high school teachers (eight weeks for
teachers). Participants meet weekly for a special seminar series on
topics which range from research frontiers to state high school educational
standards and finish the summer with a poster session scientific meeting.
Participants receive a stipend and subsidized (free) housing at San Jose
State University dormitories. Check out the web site
http://www.almaden.ibm.com/st/nsfstudent. Deadline is early February.
"Center for Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies" (CPIMA),
an NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center which involves
Stanford University, University of California at Davis, and IBM has a
summer program which encourages applications from undergraduates from
across the United States. Students work with professors or research
scientists at one of the institutions, and meet several times during the
summer for research meetings or career counseling. An eight week program
for teachers is also available. Some of the projects involve educational
activities at a local science museum, developing materials projects with an
impact on public and school science. Applications from students at
primarily undergraduate institutions and at community colleges are
encouraged. Although designed for students completing their junior year,
applications from outstanding students at all levels in all fields of
science and engineering are encouraged. Participants receive a stipend and
must pay their own housing. Information is available at
http://www.stanford.edu/group/CPIMA/. Deadline is early February.
