Do you use Unidata software packages? Do you love to write code? The Unidata Summer of Code internship program is looking for you!
The Unidata Summer of Code internship program will be hosting a graduate student intern from late May through August 2012. The USoC intern will be on-site at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado, and will have 12 weeks to radically improve one of Unidata's software packages. Pick one you love and make it better! Pick one you're not in love with and reveal its true beauty.
As the USoC intern, you will work closely with Unidata Program Center software developers in our newly-remodelled offices. You'll have the opportunity to meet and interact with other UCAR and NCAR developers and scientists, and to enjoy the summer months in Boulder. You'll have a chance to do some work that benefits the entire Unidata community. You'll write about your experiences for Unidata's blogs and give a seminar summarizing your work at the end of the summer. And you'll get paid to do it.
You must currently be enrolled in a graduate level program at a United States university to apply for this internship. You'll need to send the following:
- Your CV or resume
- Example source code demonstrating knowledge and skill in the areas of data access, distribution, analysis, and/or visualization (a web link to a source code repository is preferred)
- A copy of your most recent university transcript (an official transcript is not necessary)
- A Letter of Interest, no more than two pages in length, indicating which of the Unidata projects interests you and how you would innovatively enhance the capability of the project
- Contact information for two recommending faculty members (Unidata will contact them directly to submit letters of recommendation)
You'll have to act quickly, though: the deadline for applications is Friday, March 30, 2012. See the UCAR Career Portal announcement for official application details and process.
