Dear all,

It's our pleasure to invite applications for undergraduate internships in the NSF-funded REU: Research Opportunities in Rock Deformation (RORD) (https://sites.wustl.edu/rord/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.wustl.edu%2Frord%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cschermer%40WWU.EDU%7Cb8341d1512df4d36c1dd08daf3b91cea%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C638090273762590895%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YRI%2BcX2O%2FAyJ88qrHj6rfjHNMKecLYJgj4GNZgrvYF4%3D&reserved=0>).

RORD is a paid internship program designed to provide laboratory- and field-based research experience in rock mechanics and structural geology. The program will run from June 10 to July 28, 2023 (with an additional conference session in December) and students will be based in one of 11 different rock mechanics labs around the US.

Our goal is to introduce undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds in Earth science, geoscience, physics, and engineering to the field of rock deformation. Our main priority is finding highly motivated students, even if you've never heard of rock deformation before. If you have interests in physics, mechanics, civil/mechanical engineering, or materials science and are curious how to apply those concepts to tectonics, earthquakes, volcanology, glaciology, or geoengineering, then please consider applying.

This program involves three sessions:
A field session with the entire cohort in the eastern Sierra Nevada (June 10 to 18, 2023)
A laboratory session at one of our host institutions (June 19 to July 28, 2023)
A conference session at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (December 11 to 15, 2022).
