Paid Research Opportunity this Spring - Space Grant Consortium

We are now accepting applications for student positions on the STEAM project at NASA’s Colorado Space Grant Consortium (COSGC). This position is for a paid research opportunity for 8-10 hours/week at $15/hour during the remainder of spring semester, with the opportunity to continue over the summer. We have scientific and engineering positions available, so we encourage students from any background to apply.

 The STudent Energetic Activity Model (STEAM) is a multi-year experiment in collaboration with the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to search for signatures of nanoflares and open-field transient release of the solar wind, as well as reconnection based coronal heating mechanisms from the Sun in soft and hard x-ray.  The experiment is going on one of four satellites that is part of a SMall EXplorer (SMEX) class mission, PUNCH. The planned instrument delivery is 2022 and planned launch is 2023.

The application will be available through our website: https://spacegrant.colorado.edu/boulderstudents/howtogetinvolved
