Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The mathematics department will be hosting an internal research experience for undergraduates and early graduate students in Summer 2025. If your idea of fun is thinking about mathematics, then this may be your chance for getting paid for having fun.

What's the job?

• You will be part of a group of researchers working on math problems, guided by the official mentor.
• You will be expected to be around most of the time, attend official functions, and be expected to work about 20 hours per week.
• Pay is $25/hr for 20 hours a week (that is, $500/week).

Offers to undergraduate students will be made by late March

How do I apply?

Applications for the above Summer 2025 REU will open in early February (2025).  Offers to students will be made by late March. If you have any questions, please contact Nat Thiem.

Women and other underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.  This program is not funded with federal money, so all students are welcome to apply regardless of eligibility for federal support or immigration status.

To apply, please fill out the form TBD (MUST be signed in to Google with your CU identikey).  This application includes

• A .pdf copy of your (un)official transcript (note that you can't have graduated before Summer 2025)
• A ranking of the projects you'd be interested in participating in
• A statement describing why you would like to do mathematics research, and if applicable why your favorite project is especially compelling to you. Other things you might add to your statement include:
  • If your experience does not meet the prerequisites of a project, but you nevertheless feel prepared, then please explain why
  • If you unsuccessfully applied to this REU in previous years, please let us know (in general this will positively affect your application)
