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 undergrad or grad project, or to bridge the period between undergrad studies are encouraged to contact the student coordinator at ctioreuATctio.noao.edu to discuss possibilities. For example, we had Fullbright students during 2011.
In adittion there are internships available for Chilean students [1] 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.
