The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC) is looking for 3 full-time students from any affiliate member institution majoring in a science or engineering discipline to join the launch team of our high-altitude balloon project, Elijah.
Awards: Each intern will receive a $4000 award, paid in increments. All funding is subject to availability.
Work period: The WSGC estimates that each selected student will spend approximately 1-2 hours per week on this project (with the bulk of this time clustering around launch dates), plus six days for training workshops and launch days. Students will be launch team members for the period from approximately 1 April 2013 to 16 May 2013.
Location: Meetings of the team will take place in either Milwaukee or Green Bay, Wisconsin, but because much of the internship work may be done off-site, students from any location are encouraged to apply. Students must be able to provide their own transportation.
