Bumping this up for the new year. Students do not need any prior experience with geodesy - just interest and willingness to learn and explore. In addition to a stipend, interns will receive round-trip travel to East Lansing, housing, and a meal plan.
Paid summer internships in geodesy! Know of an undergraduate student who might be interested in learning more about geodesy? Let them know about MSU's new summer geodesy internship program. We have funding for multiple interns next summer. Application deadline is Feb. 1, 2025.
