The duration of the internship is flexible (up to three months, depending on student availability). If scheduling allows, the intern will also take part in the IRIS Education and Outreach Orientation Week at New Mexico Tech, to be held late May in association with the IRIS Summer Undergraduate Internship program. This position is designed for an advanced undergraduate or graduate student who has an interest in experiment design, field methods, seismograph electronics, and data processing. For general information, please visit <A href="http://www.passcal.nmt.edu">www.passcal.nmt.edu</A>, or contact PASSCAL Instrument Center Director Bruce Beaudoin (505-835-5070; <A href="mailto:bruce@passcal.nmt.edu">bruce@passcal.nmt.edu</A>). The internship includes a weekly stipend, living expenses, round-trip travel funds to Socorro, NM, and tuition support to cover NMT summer registration as a special graduate student.

The IRIS/PASSCAL Instrument Center, funded by the National Science Foundation through the IRIS consortium, maintains a large national pool of portable seismographs (Reftek and Quanterra), broadband sensors (Streckheisen, Guralp), portable telemetered networks, and high-resolution cable reflection systems (Geometrics). The successful candidate will learn about repair and maintenance of seismographic equipment, potentially assist in deployments around the US and overseas, and participate in the processing of the data under the direction of the Instrument Center Director and Staff. The intern will register as a special student for 6 credits of Directed Study (Geophysics 581) under the advisorship of PASSCAL Instrument Center P.I. and Geophysics Professor Richard Aster. At least one week prior to the conclusion of the internship, the intern will submit a report not to exceed 15 pages summarizing tasks performed and observations/suggestions pertinent to PASSCAL program operations and future Education and Outreach efforts. The intern will be given a stipend at the rate of $450 week. Transportation costs to and from New Mexico Tech will be reimbursed up to $3,500, as will room and board costs up to $900.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">For further information, please contact Bruce Beaudoin (see above) or Rick Aster (<A href="mailto:aster@ees.nmt.edu">aster@ees.nmt.edu</A>; 505 835-5924).</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></BODY></HTML>
