The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Program for Array 
Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere (PASSCAL) has an opening for a 
2014 summer student intern at the IRIS PASSCAL Instrument Center at New Mexico 
Tech. The duration of the internship is flexible (up to three months). If 
scheduling allows, the intern will also take part in the late May IRIS 
Education and Outreach Orientation Week at New Mexico Tech 
(www.iris.edu/hq/internship/about/orientation) in association with the IRIS 
Summer Undergraduate Internship program.  We seek an advanced undergraduate or 
graduate student with seismic field methods, seismograph electronics, software 
development or data processing interests. For general information, please 
visit www.passcal.nmt.edu, or contact PASSCAL Instrument Center Director Bruce 
Beaudoin (575-835-5070; bruce at passcal.nmt.edu). The internship includes a 
weekly stipend, living expenses, round-trip travel funds to Socorro, NM, and 
tuition sup!
port to cover NMT summer registration as a special graduate student. To apply, 
send a letter summarizing interests, college transcripts, and at least one 
appropriate letter of recommendation to:  PASSCAL Summer Intern Committee, c/o 
Bruce Beaudoin, IRIS PASSCAL Instrument Center, New Mexico Tech, 100 East Rd., 
Socorro, NM 87801.  For full consideration, materials must be received by 
April 1, 2014.

Details: The internship is designed for a student with a background in Earth 
Science who is interested in seismic field methods, electronics, software 
development or data processing. The IRIS PASSCAL Instrument Center, funded by 
the National Science Foundation via the IRIS consortium, maintains and helps 
deploy large numbers portable seismographs (Reftek and Quanterra), broadband 
sensors (Streckheisen, Guralp, Nanometrics), portable telemetered networks, 
and high-resolution cable reflection systems (Geometrics) that are heavily 
utilized by the U.S. research community and international partners. The 
successful candidate will learn about the technology and maintenance of state-
of-the-art seismic equipment, potentially assist in deployments in the US and 
overseas, and participate in seismic data processing under the direction of 
the Instrument Center Director and Staff. The intern will register as a 
special student for 6 credits of Directed Study (Geophysics 590) under the 
advi!
sorship of PASSCAL Instrument Center P.I. and NMT Geophysics Professor Susan 
Bilek. At least one week prior to the conclusion of the internship, the intern 
will submit a report not to exceed 15 pages summarizing tasks performed and 
observations/suggestions pertinent to PASSCAL program operations and future 
Education and Outreach efforts. The intern will be given a personal allowance 
of $575/week for tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. Transportation 
costs to and from New Mexico Tech will be reimbursed up to $3,500, as will 
room and board costs up to $1700.

For further information, please contact Bruce Beaudoin (see above) or Susan 
Bilek (sbilek at ees.nmt.edu; 575-835-6510).
