Description:
The Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) offers paid 10-week summer internships where you can gain experience in a research environment. The main focus of the internships is programming, although there may be other opportunities for internships in a variety of research-related fields.

Our programming internships provide highly motivated students an opportunity to apply their coding abilities in support of cutting-edge atmospheric research. From year to year projects may include a combination of designing, monitoring, and debugging data ingest archival systems; creating and maintaining data analysis tools; and calibration, processing and visualization of atmospheric data collected from ground, aircraft or satellite based instrumentation in collaboration with partners and funders that include NOAA, NASA, NSF and DOE.

Interns will work individually with SSEC researchers to define the work to be completed. The intern will be provided with self guided tutorials on the programming languages and tools that will be used for the summer projects. Access to research and programming experts from SSEC will be available as a resource throughout the summer for questions on the tutorials and summer projects.

Experienced SSEC researchers will mentor and lead weekly meetings with the interns to discuss the challenges and successes of everyone's projects. Minimum pay will be $17 an hour and is based on experience. Interns can work up to 40 hours per week during the summer.
