[Latinmag] Reminder - Institute for Rock Magnetism Summer School 2024 - Deadline February 15th

[Maxwell Brown]

*<https://cse.umn.edu/irm/2024-irm-summer-school-rock-magnetism>*

A reminder that the *_February 15th application _**_deadline_* for 2024 
IRM Summer School in Rock Magnetism is approaching! The Summer School 
will run from June 3rd-12th at the home of the IRM, the University of 
Minnesota, Minneapolis.
_
_*Exciting Update: *We have received funding from the US National 
Science Foundation (NSF) for the Summer School, which allows us to cover 
University of Minnesota dormitory accommodation costs and a significant 
portion of travel costs for all participants.

*About the summer school:*

This 10-day program is targeted at graduate students, advanced 
undergraduate students, and postdocs in rock magnetism, paleomagnetism, 
and associated fields. Participants will receive intensive instruction 
in rock magnetic theory and laboratory techniques. A daily schedule of 
lectures, hands-on laboratory measurements, and data processing will 
introduce participants to the fundamentals of rock magnetism and 
paleomagnetism and the practical aspects of collecting and interpreting 
data. Instructors for the Summer School will be primarily IRM faculty 
and staff. A special workshop on quantum diamond magnetometry will be 
led by Prof. Roger Fu (Harvard University).

Details of the summer school will be posted on the IRM website:

*Applications:*

Please complete our Google Form <https://forms.gle/N6A5XSp5d5A2745a9>.

As stated above, the Deadline is February 15th, 2024. /
/
Before starting the application please note you will be asked to provide:

(1) A short statement of research interests (to be used to form the 
student groups for the lab exercises), explanation of short-term 
research goals, and why attending the Summer School will be 
beneficial(max. 350 words).
(2) An estimate of round-trip travel cost to Minneapolis and whether 
funding is available from your advisor or institution.

*Considerations:*

As the number of applicants for the school typically exceeds the IRM's 
capacity to teach the school effectively, we can only accommodate 20 
participants.

Applicants will be selected based on a balance of considerations, 
including how far along a student is in their studies, how many other 
applicants are from the same institution, and whether applicants bring 
differing experiences, talents, and perspectives to our community. To 
foster institutional diversity, a limit of 3 participants per research 
group has been set (more participants from the same institution will be 
considered if space allows).

----
If you have any questions about the Summer School, please do not 
hestitate to contact Maxwell Brown at irm en umn.edu.

We hope that you are as enthused to attend as we are to welcome you to 
the lab!
