NOSAMS Graduate Student Internship Program   Email     Print   PDF

Two internships will be awarded this year to U.S. graduate students for research at the NOSAMS radiocarbon facility at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The internships would involve application of radiocarbon measurements to an important research problem and/or development of new techniques for radiocarbon measurement and will provide 2 to 6 weeks at NOSAMS.  Available funds will cover all analytical costs (for a modest number of analyses), round-trip travel, accommodation and subsistence at Woods Hole, but not field work and sampling. 

Candidates should submit a two-page proposal outlining the proposed work and motivation by June 1, 2013.  Proposals and CVs (both as pdf files), along with contact information should be sent to wjenkins@whoi.edu  Proposals will be judged on the basis of scientific soundness, relevance to capabilities and objectives at NOSAMS, novelty, and scientific impact.  Priority will be given to collaborative research with PI's at NOSAMS, and that show promise for follow-on projects. Winners will be notified via email by July 1, 2013.  Internships can be used at a mutually agreed time between September 1, 2013 and August 31, 2014.
