The SAO (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Summer Intern Program is a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program where students work on astrophysics research with an SAO/Harvard scientist. In 2016 the program will run for 10 weeks from June 5 - August 13. However, these dates may change depending on the availability of Harvard housing. Please check this website for updates.

Students are expected to be in residence at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) for the full duration of the program.

The program is funded by the National Science Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution. Undergraduate students interested in a career in astronomy, astrophysics, physics, or related physical sciences are encouraged to apply for the 2016 program.

We are now accepting applications for Summer 2016.

Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents (Green Card holders), and must be enrolled in a degree program leading to a bachelors degree. Seniors who will graduate in June of 2016 (or before) are not eligible.

Potential areas of research include:

Galactic and Extragalactic Astronomy
Interstellar Medium and Star formation
Stellar Astrophysics
Supernovae and Supernova Remnants
Laboratory Astrophysics and Astro-chemistry
Instrumentation
Planetary and Atmospheric Science
Cosmology

Interns work with an SAO/Harvard staff member on a research project for the duration of their stay. There are also field trips, discussion meetings that address research ethics , and career development (graduate school life, applications, funding; opportunities outside academia), and a summer colloquium series. Here is the 2015 Summer Colloquium program.
