Up to ten undergraduate Research Assistantships to join a vibrant research community at Cornell's Department of Astronomy and the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science.

Please note that our NSF grant does not allow us to accept applications from students who are not U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.

Summer 2021 - 10 week program

Tentative program dates: June 8 to August 13. Firm dates are contingent on the evolution of the pandemic and will be announced by February 28.

To get the most out of the program, it is best if students begin and end when the program does, but please let us know if you need accommodation due to your academic calendar.
