Wellesley Extragalactic Explorers

If you're interested in joining our group, follow these steps:

1. Take ASTR 107, which is offered in both semesters.

2. Explore the research projects in our group.

3. Schedule a meeting with Prof. Lamiya Mowla via email.

4. Start the Onboarding tutorial (can be done concurrently with ASTR 107).

5. If you remain interested (yay!), proceed to the Launchpad sections and start your apprenticeship.

Pathway through WEE:

• First semester: ASTR 107. You can also get started on the On-boarding tutorial.

• Second semester: Participate in an apprenticeship (ASTR/PHYS 250H/350H) or through FYAP/SERP). During this time you’ll finish both the On-boarding and the Launchpad tutorials.

• Further semesters: Interested and industrious students will be invited to continue as Research Assistants (paid position) or enroll in ASTR/PHYS 250/350.

• Summer internship: Students can apply to work with one of our collaborators at MIT (UROP), Harvard Center for Astrophysics, Tufts University, Space Telescope Science Institute, University of Colorado Boulder, or with us here at Whitin Observatory through the Science Center Summer Research Program.

  Eligible students are encouraged to apply to the First Year Apprentice Program and the Sophomore Early Research Program.
