The Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) announces a call for
applications from U.S. high school students interested in participating
in field research in Greenland.
JSEP is a National Science Foundation (NSF) supported science and
cultural-exchange summer program for high school students. The
three-week program takes place entirely in Greenland. Participants from
the United States, Denmark, and Greenland live and work together while
exploring current research and completing their own inquiry-based
investigations. The program includes two weeks of extensive field
experiences based out of the town of Kangerlussuaq and a final week with
a visit to Summit Station, the U.S. research facility located at the top
of the Greenland ice sheet. Students observe scientists as they conduct
research in a wide variety of fields including biology, geology,
climatology, chemistry, and engineering. Students also have significant
hands-on experiences in field research under the guidance of
professional teachers from the participating nations.
JSEP is open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the 11th grade
at the time of application submittal. NSF's Division of Polar Programs
covers all participant costs, such as food, transportation, lodging, and
instruction for students selected to participate.
Application deadline: 9 January 2015.
