Astronomy Projects/Internships
Other opportunities for students might arise, when one of the CTIO scientific staff has a suitable project. Students interested in working at CTIO as part of an undergraduate or graduate level project, or to bridge the period between undergraduate and graduate studies are encouraged to contact the student coordinator at ctioreu@ctio.noao.edu [1] to discuss possibilities. For example, in the past we have hosted unpaid interns with funding through a scholarship or grant from their university, and through the Fulbright Program [2].
"Prácticas" for Chilean students
In addition there are internships available for Chilean students [3] in different areas of the observatory.
The NOAO-S program professional internships in focused towards Chilean young students undergraduates and graduates, willing to gather experience in the organization through the participation in daily work activities in related areas of an astronomical observatory.Tasks and responsabiliies are asigned to the students according to its university or technical experience, being under a supervisor who is responsible ot directing and evaluating this internship. Besides, the student can work in projects already running or specific activities created ad-hoc, without being considered as staff member of the organization.
