Undergraduate Internship Description

The NSF Science and Technology Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction (CMOP)
www.stccmop.org

CMOP studies coastal margins (watersheds, estuaries, the ocean continental shelf), using an interdisciplinary approach and developing technology to enable a transformative understanding of river-to-ocean ecosystems.

Located outside of Portland, Oregon, CMOP is hosted by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) at the OGI School of Science & Engineering. CMOP is funded through an NSF grant and is a collaborative effort between several academic and industry partners, including Oregon State University and University of Washington. CMOP is one of 17 active Science and Technology Centers in the United States and is the only one focused on coastal margins.

CMOP is currently offering highly competitive paid undergraduate summer internships in Environmental Information Technology (EIT). These internships will provide hands-on experience combining academic research and skills from computer science, microbiology, and oceanography.

Students in these internship positions will engage in leading edge research on observation, understanding and prediction of coastal margins. Students will find connections with their undergraduate work and increase their ability to compete for seats in graduate schools. CMOP undergraduate interns will be highly competitive in the EIT Masters and Ph.D. programs here at CMOP.

CMOP seeks to create a truly diverse research team and strongly encourages underrepresented minorities to apply.
