Rik Gran, Carleton class of 1994 and currently a professor at UMD, is looking for a few undergraduate students who are interested in careers in science and/or science education. The position would involve working with the DNR to give science tours of the Soudan Underground Lab
and the two major experiments, the MINOS neutrino oscillation experiment and the CDMS Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment, which are hosted by the lab. The interns will lead the tours, continue development of the outreach program, work on lesson plans for grades 8-12 especially for groups that visit the lab. There are also opportunities to participate in the research being done at the lab. These positions are open for the full summer. Schedules can be flexible, but our goal is to cover all tours which happen twice a day, seven days per week. There will be a team of four high school teachers and at least two undergraduate interns. The positions are for a duration of eight weeks and pay $12 per hour. Housing will be supplied, if needed. Visit www.soudan.umn.edu to learn more about the lab. Please e-mail or mail a resume and cover letter to Jerry Meier meier@soudan.umn.edu by 30 April 2010.
