• Careers at UCAR - Working with Us
  At UCAR, our staff understands the importance of collaboration and the excellence it takes to support scientific research. We take pride in our highly educated workforce - a staff that values learning, thinking, and contributing to the body of knowledge involving climate, weather and atmospheric science.

• Advanced Study Program (ASP)
  Sponsors recent Ph.D. scientists and students in Ph.D. programs, bringing them to NCAR to expand their own studies and enrich the center's research. ASP also offers seminars, workshops, and colloquia on areas of particular importance to the atmospheric sciences.

• ASP Graduate Visitor Program
  brings graduate students to NCAR for 3 to 12-month collaborative visits with the endorsement of their thesis advisors and in pursuit of their thesis research

• ASP Postdoctoral Fellowships

• COMET MetEd (Meteorology Education and Training)

• SOARS: Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research & Science
  Provides paid research internships at NCAR and other laboratories, community building, and mentoring during the last two years of undergraduate and first two years of graduate school with an emphasis on students from underrepresented groups exploring a career in the atmospheric sciences or a related field.

• UCAR Community Opportunities

• Visitor Opportunities for Students at NCAR/UCAR

• Curricula—The UCAR-AMS Guide The curricula database, part of the AMS Career Guide for the Atmospheric Sciences, helps students identify schools that match their academic goals in the atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, and related sciences.

• Profiles of atmospheric and Earth-systems science research staff

• UCAR Member Universities are North American universities with doctoral programs in the atmospheric, oceanic, and related sciences.

• The Academic Affiliates Program is comprised of colleges and universities which grant Bachelors' and/or Masters' degrees in the atmospheric and related sciences, and was developed to provide the opportunity for these institutions to participate in the UCAR community's scientific and educational activities.

• The International Affiliates Program was developed to enhance communications about programs, resources, and strengths of atmospheric science and related programs world wide, and to create a collegial environment supportive of cooperation and understanding.

Minority Serving Institutions and Diversity Resources

A Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) is a designation by the U.S. Department of Education of a college or university, for example as a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), a Tribal College or University (TCU), etc. Learn more about MSIs in this eJournal USA article from the U.S. Department of State. The Department of Education maintains a list of postsecondary MSIs (colleges and universities).
