The CHRONOS program seeks applications from U.S. graduate and advanced undergraduate students interested in Earth history, paleobiology, stratigraphy and paleoceanography for one-month paid internships in Summer 2006 at Iowa State University. CHRONOS is a team of geoscientists and information technology specialists creating a cyberinfrastructure that delivers open access to a global federation of Earth history databases, tools, and services to geosciences researchers, and a source of Earth history data and visualization tools for educators and students. Interns will have the opportunity to utilize CHRONOS data sets and services in their own research or work with CHRONOS scientists and programmers on programs that are already in progress.
