The deadline has been extended from 15 January to 24 January to submit a joint 
CEDAR-GEM Workshop description under the theme of 'Exploring Connections in the 
Geospace System'.  Further details are in the previous email of 24 November at 
http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/Community:Email_24nov10.  A wiki 
login is necessary in order to access the joint workshop description at

(3) Jicamarca International Research Experience Program - JIREP 2011 for 10 
weeks in summer - applications due 31 January 2011.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Jorge Chau (jchau at jro.igp.gob.pe) and Angela Calle (jirep at jro.igp.gob.pe).

The students will work with staff engineers and scientists on projects related 
to ongoing research or instrumentation development programs. Research may be 
conducted in neutral atmospheric and ionospheric science as well as radar/radio 
instrumentation and software development. Given its location, frequency of 
operation, and array system, most Jicamarca Radio Observatory's research 
capabilities are unique. Besides the unique research capabilities where students 
are welcomed to propose and run their own experiments, Jicamarca offers a good 
opportunity to get hands-on-experience on different aspects of radar systems, 
from changing the antenna connections, improving RF components of the system, to 
develop sophisticated acquisition and processing programs. A side benefit of the 
program is that students will get to know Peru, heir to ancient cultures and 
rich colonial tradition.

This program is offered to junior/senior undergraduate and/or first and second 
year graduate students and will cover the travel expenses (to and from Lima) as 
well as a reasonable stipend. Given that the Observatory is located outside Lima 
city, transportation will be provided.

Application and recommendation forms are available at http://jro.igp.gob.pe/jirep/

* Application deadline: January 31st, 2011
* Decision: February 20th, 2011
* Starting date: Anytime after May 10th until June 20th
* Duration: 10 weeks
