[PCA] INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY: DataONE Summer Internship Opportunities (Online) (Deadline: March 23, 2018)

[Prescott, Leah]

**Deadline: March 23, 2018 *Overview: Undergraduates, graduates and recent
postgraduates are invited to apply to work with DataONE for nine weeks
between May and July 2018. DataONE is a virtual organization dedicated to
providing open, persistent, robust, and secure access to biodiversity and
environmental data, supported by the National Science Foundation. Interns
undertake a 9-week program of work centered around one of the projects
listed below. Each intern will be paired with one primary mentor and, in
some cases, secondary and tertiary mentors. Interns need not necessarily be
at the same location or institution as their mentor(s). *Position:  Summer
Internship *Location: Anywhere, this is a virtual
organization *Compensation:  Interns will receive a stipend of $5,000 for
participation, paid in two installments (one at the midterm and one at the
conclusion of the program). In addition, required travel expenses will be
borne by DataONE. Participation in the program after the mid-term is
contingent on satisfactory performance. The University of New Mexico will
administer funds. Interns will need to supply their own computing equipment
and internet connection. For students who are not US citizens or permanent
residents, complete visa information will be required, and it may be
necessary for the funds to be paid through the student’s university or
research institution. In such cases, the student will need to provide the
necessary contact information for their organization. *Who may apply: The
program is open to undergraduate students, graduate students, and
postgraduates who have received their degree within the past five years.
Given the broad range of projects, there are no restrictions on academic
backgrounds or field of study. Interns must be at least 18 years of age by
the program start date, must be currently enrolled or employed at a U.S.
university or other research institution and must currently reside in, and
be eligible to work in, the United States. Interns are expected to be
available approximately 40 hours/week during the internship period (noted
above) with significant availability during the normal business hours.
Interns from previous years are eligible to participate. See the full
