The University of Massachusetts Amherst School of Computer Science will be offering a new Research
Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in data science this summer. Students will have the
opportunity to work on projects touching multiple facets of data science including applications
(computational social science, computational ecology and sustainability, health, and more), data
analytics (machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and more), and
computational infrastructure for data science (databases, parallel and distributed systems, cloud
computing, etc.). Students will work on research projects under the supervision of a faculty member and
graduate student mentor.
The students will be paid a stipend of $5000 for a 10-week period and housing will be provided. More
information about the REUMass Amherst program including eligibility criteria and application details can
be found at:

A PDF flyer for the program is available at the link below. We would greatly appreciate it if you could
post the flyer and forward it to your students. We are accepting applications from now through Feb 27,
2015. Any questions about the program can be directed to reu@cs.umass.edu.
