[iris-bulk] 2007 IRIS Undergraduate Internships

[IRIS]

Please share the following opportunity with your students....

_______________________________________________________

Are you an undergraduate interested in working on a seismological  
research project in the summer of 2007?

If so, consider applying for an IRIS Summer Undergraduate Internship.  
Once selected, your summer experience will begin with a one-week  
orientation at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (May  
28 to June 1, 2007). The goal of the orientation period is to develop  
a strong sense of community among interns, provide training in  
distance collaboration and introduce you to some of the most exciting  
aspects of modern seismology.

Following this week you will spend 8 to 10 weeks working on a  
seismological research project with researchers at an IRIS member  
institution. Research projects may involve the deployment of seismic  
instruments in the field (within the US or internationally), and/or  
analysis of seismic data in a lab setting with the ultimate goal of  
producing results to be presented at a national scientific meeting.

Selections will be based on the sum of each applicant’s  
recommendations, coursework e.g. math, physics and geoscience, and  
the alignment between projects and prospective intern’s interests.  
Experience or coursework in seismology or geophysics is not a  
requirement for successful candidates.
