[Céline d'Orgeville]

The ANU Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre (AITC) located at Mount Stromlo Observatory near Canberra is offering a unique and exciting opportunity for undergraduate students in science, engineering, computer science, or mathematics to participate in challenging instrumentation research projects over the summer break.
*** ANU – AITC Internship/Northrop Grumman Externship Program ***
*** Mt Stromlo Observatory - 2017/18 ***
Applications are now open for the 2017/18 ANU AITC Internship/Northrop Grumman Externship program. This year, the program will be run as part of the ANU Summer Research Scholarships at the Australian National University's Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics (RSAA).
There are up to five places available for undergraduate students studying science, engineering, computer science or mathematics.
The closing date for applications is 31st August 2017.
The ANU AITC Internship/Northrop Grumman Externship program provides an exceptional opportunity for students looking to work on instrumentation projects for astronomy and space. Interns will be supervised and mentored by AITC scientists and engineers to complete a defined research project and participate in activities that develop technical skills and help prepare them for professional employment.
The program will last for approximately eight weeks from: Monday 20 November 2017 through to Friday 19 January 2018. 
As the Internship is now part of the ANU Summer Research Scholarship at RSAA, the internship includes full accommodation and board on the ANU campus, a weekly allowance, and return travel to Canberra. 
There will be a lecture series on contemporary topics in astrophysics and instrumentation, and scholars will also also be given the opportunity to visit the telescopes and facilities at Siding Spring Observatory, Parkes, Narrabri and Tidbinbilla.
The program is open to suitably qualified undergraduate students in the third or final year of their degrees who are currently enrolled at an Australian or New Zealand university. Outstanding second-year students and postgraduate students considering future enrolment in a PhD program at the ANU RSAA Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre (AITC) may also be considered.
