Description:
The School of Oceanography at the University of Washington, the eScience Institute, and OceanHackWeek are excited to announce an undergraduate summer program, 'Data Science in Oceanography.' The Summer Program will be held in person at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

Participating students will interact closely with faculty and graduate student mentors to develop and advance research projects revolving around oceanographic data analysis. The students will participate fully in the OceanHackWeek program, where they will gain hands-on experience in data science techniques. The students will also learn about scientific writing, careers in oceanography and related fields, tips for gaining additional undergraduate research experience, and an overview of the graduate school admissions process. The program will organize fun activities in the Seattle area, such as hiking and kayaking trips, exploring the city downtown, etc. On-campus housing, meals, and partial travel reimbursement will be provided to undergraduate students.

Undergraduate students with programming experience and interests in learning about oceanography and data science are welcome to apply. The goal of the program is to provide undergraduate students opportunities in contemporary data-driven research in oceanography and attract them to exciting possibilities of career paths in oceanography. We are particularly eager to provide research and mentoring opportunities to historically underrepresented groups in STEM and students with non-traditional backgrounds.

Please visit our website to learn more about how to apply. For questions, please email Dr. Georgy Manucharyan using 'Data Science in Oceanography' as the subject.
