http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/home/index.html.
Click onto About, Click
onto Organizations, then click onto the
division
most likely to have your type
of research you are
interested in. I recommend that your research interest be
stated in your
cover letter. Mentors will have a better idea as to what area of
research you want to work in this summer.
4. After your resume has been submitted, it will be placed on our website
for review
by our mentors. Only mentors will have access to resumes
and to the
list of hired students. The mentor will contact you first
for
an interview. Although the program runs from June
2 to August 31, 2008, you may be hired before June 2 or after, and/or
for less than 12 weeks.
5. Do not be discouraged if you do
not hear from mentors up to the
deadline. Please email the intern
coordinator if you wish to
withdraw your resume from
the list due to other obligations
you may
have, as soon as know you are no longer available.
6. If you and the mentor reach
agreement as to the type of research
involved and the hours required to complete
the project, then the
mentor will contact the intern
coordinator.
7. Final confirmation of your internship for the summer at GSFC
will be emailed to
you by the intern coordinator in a formal letter.

the website, please call
