Recent earthquakes in the US and around the world have repeatedly shown that earthquake resilience is essential to building and sustaining urban communities. Earthquake resilience will play an increasingly important role in the professions associated with earthquake hazard mitigation, and the ten-week 2012 PEER Summer Internship Program will allow you to experience how many different engineering and social science disciplines interact to research the broad goal of earthquake resilient communities.
During the summer of 2012, interns will be hosted at UC Berkeley, UC Davis and University of Washington to conduct research projects in the fields of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering and risk analysis.
Each participant will receive a stipend of $7,000, intended to cover summer housing and travel expenses to the summer project location. PEER will provide additional compensation for travel to an Orientation Workshop at UC Berkeley and to the 2012 PEER Annual Meeting.
The first application deadline is Tuesday February 21, 2012 at 8:00 am Pacific Time. Application review will begin on February 21 and continue on a rolling basis until all internships are awarded. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply before the February 21st deadline.
