2024 Scholars Program
The National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) group at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) are sponsoring the NSBP/SAO EHT Scholars program. Summer Interns will work on projects that range across observational, computational, theoretical, and engineering aspects of black hole research. The research will culminate in a research report and presentation to the team. Program benefits include mentoring by experts in black hole astrophysics, participation in a large supportive research group, and participation in the broader SAO summer internship community.
This will be an in-person internship at the SAO. The typical program will start before June 15th, 2024 and last 8–10 weeks. Interns are paid a stipend of $800/week, and there is support for presentation of research results at a conference or workshop.
