Dear Colleague,

Please be reminded that the deadline for students to apply to the University of California, Berkeley's 2011 Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) is February 1, 2011.

SROP offers students opportunities for faculty-mentored research in the fields of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth & Planetary Science, Geology, Geophysics, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics. The eight-week program will be held on the UC Berkeley campus from June 5 through July 30, 2011. Participants are provided with round-trip airfare, room & board, stipend, graduate school preparation workshops, GRE prep course, UCB application fee waiver, and more.

Basic eligibility requirements include: U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status; sophomore, junior, or non-graduating senior status; a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA; demonstrated potential for success and an interest in pursuing graduate study. The SROP selection committee follows a comprehensive review and weighs each applicant’s academic and personal achievements, preparation for research, and the availability of faculty mentors in their field of interest.
