Opportunities for students
Note: this page is updated periodically.
- Lehigh is now a member of IAESTE (International Association for Exchange of Students for Technical Experience), which is an excellent opportunity for engineering undergraduate students for locating international summer internships. See http://www.iaesteunitedstates.org/universities/index.htm for more information.
- Awards for graduate, postdoctoral and senior researchers at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. These awards provide generous stipends ($30,000 – $35,000 for graduate students, $42,000 – $75,000 per year for recent Ph.D. recipients and higher for additional experience), and the opportunity to do independent research in some of the best-equipped and staffed laboratories in the U.S. Research opportunities are open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and for some of the laboratories, foreign nationals. Detailed program information is available on the NRC Research Associateship Programs Web site at: http://www.national-academies.org/rap. Questions should be directed to the NRC at 202-334-2760 (phone) or rap@nas.edu.
There will be four review cycles annually. Upcoming deadline dates are: November 1, 2009; February 1, 2010; May 1, 2010; August 1, 2010.
