[9731923] Dow史密森天体物理天文台（SAO）暑期实习生计划为有才华的本科生提供在物理科学领域有兴趣的职业生涯，在马萨诸塞州剑桥的哈佛-史密森天体物理中心与科学家一起工作10周的机会。该项目每年在全国招收10名学生。鼓励妇女、少数民族、残疾人和来自研究机会有限的大学的学生申请。学生的潜在研究领域包括：观测和理论宇宙学，河外和星系天文学，星际介质和恒星形成，实验室天体物理学，超新星和超新星遗迹，以及行星科学。项目活动包括参观附近的天文台，参加非正式的科学讲座，以及参加一系列的学术讨论会。学生们写一篇研究论文，并在夏季结束时的实习生研讨会上展示他们的项目成果。学生们将有机会在马萨诸塞州的橡树岭天文台使用光学和射电望远镜，并参观干草堆射电天文台，这是马萨诸塞州距离剑桥不远的一个主要研究机构。被选中的学生将有机会在专业学会会议上就他们的研究成果发表论文。该项目每年从6月中旬开始，一直持续到8月中旬。申请人必须是美国公民或永久居民，并且在攻读学士学位的学位课程。申请截止日期为2月15日。有关该计划的信息，包括申请信息，可在SAO暑期实习生计划网站上获得：http://hea-www.harvard.edu/REU/REU.html。＊＊＊

9731923 Dow The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) Summer Intern Program offers talented undergraduates, interested in a career in the physical sciences, the opportunity to work with a scientist for ten weeks during the summer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Ten students are recruited nationally each year for the program. Women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and students from colleges where research opportunities are limited are encouraged to apply. The potential areas of research for the students include: observational and theoretical cosmology, extragalactic and galactic astronomy, interstellar medium and star formation, laboratory astrophysics, supernovae and supernovae remnants, and planetary science. The program activities include trips to nearby observatories, taking part in informal scientific talks, and attending a colloquium series. The students write a research paper and present the results of their projects at an Intern Symposium at the end of the summer. The students will have an opportunity to use optical and radio telescopes at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Massachusetts and to visit Haystack Radio Observatory, a major research facility in Massachusetts not too far from Cambridge. There will be opportunities for selected students to present a paper on the results of their research at a professional society meeting. The program begins in mid-June and runs until mid-August each year. The applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and enrolled in a degree program leading to a bachelor's degree. The application deadline is February 15th. The information about the program, including application information, is available at the SAO Summer Intern Program Web site: http://hea-www.harvard.edu/REU/REU.html. ***
