Students
This year NM EPSCoR is proud to offer a brand-new externship program for graduate students. The EPSCoR Externship Program is a research exchange program that allows graduate students (or exceptional undergraduates) to spend a semester or summer doing research at a partnering New Mexico university or research facility. The application period is now open. Click here for more information!
For best consideration please apply by March 1, 2015.
The Undergraduate Visualization and Modeling Network (UVMN) program gives opportunities to engage diverse students in undergraduate research and CI-enabled education through the WC-WAVE grant. UVMN will provide professional development for faculty and students from Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) in the three Western Consortium states of New Mexico, Idaho, and Nevada. Participation includes three basic components:
NM EPSCoR will be hosting four introductory webinars on the STEM Advancement Program and the Undergraduate Visualization and Monitoring Network. Webinars are projected to be 30 minutes long. Click the title for dates & times!

Thinking about a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) career? Interested in field research but unsure about what it takes? The New Mexico EPSCoR STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico regional universities, community colleges and tribal colleges in the research funded by NM EPSCoR. Each summer, as part of Energize New Mexico, 12 Students will spend 10 weeks as a research scientist.
Hear the story of the state’s fossils from an expert on fossil mammals from the last 35 million years, Curator of Paleontology Gary Morgan, and learn what they can tell us about New Mexico’s past.
The WC-WAVE (Track 2) Winter Tri-State meeting will be held in beautiful, historic Old Town, Albuquerque.
This meeting is an opportunity for all project participants to showcase their work, continue to expand and deepen their collaborations, and discover new possibilities for cyberinfrastructure-enhanced research and education. Our External Advisory Board members, experts from around the nation, will be attending to hear about our progress and provide their expert advice on how to achieve our project goals.
The Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico NSF EPSCoR–funded programs have formed a consortium of EPSCoR states with similar research agendas related to climate change and water resources , and cyberinfrastructure. In keeping with the Consortium mission, Innovation Working Group (IWG) funds are being made available to support collaborative, trans–disciplinary work by the three member states. The Western Tri–State Consortium IWG program is managed by a three–state team of Project Directors and EPSCoR staff.
The New Mexico EPSCoR Post Doc Leadership Workshop is an innovative 3-day intensive, residential program designed to enhance the professional skills of post-doctoral scholars in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The workshop will use interactive approaches to develop leadership skills that will contribute to post doc career development and success.
This workshop is open to post doctoral scholars in STEM fields from research institutions in New Mexico or our partner EPSCoR states of Nevada and Idaho. Lodging, meals and workshop materials will be provided. Space is limited to 20 participants. Complete the application form. For best consideration, submit your application by November 12, 2014; applicants will be notified of acceptance by November 18, 2014.
