SISE Internship Opportunity
What is SISE?
The Summer Institute on Sustainability and Energy (SISE) is a two-week intensive workshop
and lecture series for students and professionals interested in the title subjects:
sustainability and energy. From August 6th to 20th, a diverse body of participants will converge on the University of Illinois
at Chicago (UIC) campus and immerse itself in a broad spectrum of topics in energy
and sustainable energy through daily presentations & panel discussions, collaborative
research projects and mentoring, site tours of leading energy facilities in Chicago,
and networking opportunities with energy & entrepreneurial leaders. The issues presented
will be of interest to scientists, economists, political scientists, urban planners,
engineers, architects, and entrepreneurs. This experience leaves graduates of the
SISE program with a firm foundation for future careers in sustainability and energy,
and inspires them to lead the next generation as thoughtful and informed global citizens.
SISE is now accepting applications.
Admission into the program is highly competitive. Only 50 participants will be accepted
from a pool of national applicants. Applicants accepted into the program can expect
to receive lodging support for the duration of the 2-week program and some meals on
weekdays. Many will also receive partial support for travel costs.
Senior-level undergraduates (as of the fall of 2014), graduate students, and professionals working in the fields of sustainability and energy who are living, working, or studying in the United States are eligible to apply. An online application form, a resume, and three letters of reference are required. Applications will be accepted through July 1, 2014. More information is provided on the SISE website.
