Summer Research Internships in Weather, Climate, and Radar Engineering

Are you an undergraduate student at a 2- or 4-yr institution curious about what scientific research is like? In the National Weather Center, South Central Climate Science Center, & Radar Innovation Lab's 10-week summer research internship program you conduct your own unique research study in weather, climate, or radar engineering. The dates are May 21 – July 31, 2018 (alternate dates possible if on the quarter system).

In a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program you are paired with a mentor or mentor team that helps you conduct your own unique research study! We also build a sense of community by learning and reflecting together through skill-building workshops, career exploration tours and field trips, science seminars, and a variety of social activities.

Research partners include the Radar Innovations Laboratory and South Central Climate Science Center in addition to our long-standing partners: the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, NOAA National Weather Service, and the OU Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies. Mentors may come from any OU research campus weather-related organization.
