Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) - Free Summer Science Enrichment Program
MIT’s Office of Engineering Outreach Programs (OEOP) in the School of Engineering (SOE) runs four core programs for middle and high school students. In 1975, the SOE launched the Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES) Program to address the low numbers of minority students pursuing advanced technical degrees. Now the MITES Program is a rigorous six-week residential, academic enrichment summer program for talented high school students who are interested in studying and exploring careers in science and engineering. This national program stresses the value and reward of pursuing advanced technical degrees and careers while developing the skills necessary to achieve success in science and engineering. MITES is rooted in MIT's belief in the importance of students from diverse populations to pursue higher education and careers in these fields. http://web.mit.edu/mites/ (http://web.mit.edu/mites/)
Selected students build self-confidence in their ability to be successful in a demanding academic atmosphere, and have a chance to work with and befriend individuals of different racial, ethnic and other backgrounds. Although admission to MIT is not the focus of MITES, for its graduates, there is a strong record of successful admission to MIT and to other engineering and science universities.

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory - Postdoctoral Fellowships
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for Postdoctoral fellowships in any field of the earth, environmental, or ocean sciences. Candidates should have recently completed their Ph.D. or should expect to complete their degree requirements by September, 2010.
Researchers at the Observatory work to understand the dynamics of all the earth’s chemical, physical and biological systems, from the core to the upper atmosphere, including interactions with humankind. The principal selection criteria for Fellows are scientific excellence and a clearly expressed plan to investigate problems at the forefront of earth science.
Our scientists lead research in the fields of solid earth dynamics (e.g. seismology, geodesy, mantle dynamics, petrology/geochemistry, earthquake and rock mechanics, marine and continental tectonics/geology/geophysics), ocean and atmospheric dynamics (e.g. climate/paleoclimate, climate forecasting, physical/chemical oceanography) and life sciences (e.g. biological oceanography, biogeosciences, plant physiology, paleontology). Applications from all fields are encouraged. In addition, we are also developing programs in the ocean’s role in the global carbon cycle, coastal and estuarine processes, terrestrial ecology, natural hazards, and cryosphere studies.
The fellowships are supported institutionally for 21 months, include a $5,000 research allowance, and carry an annual stipend of $51,000. Successful candidates will be encouraged to apply for external funding and may be eligible for further internal awards and positions. Award announcement will be in April, 2010.
The deadline for completed applications for the Postdoctoral Fellowship is January 11, 2010.
Appplication forms should be completed online and submitted electronically:
