Summer Jobs at ITA, 2024

We are seeking highly motivated and talented students in astrophysics to join our teams here at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (ITA) this summer. During this paid summer internship, which lasts 4-6 weeks, you will work on a project supervised by an experienced researcher. It is an excellent opportunity for students who are interested in pursuing a career in astrophysics, as exemplified by Elias Roland Udnæs, who completed two summer internships before starting his current Ph.D. here at ITA.

There are available projects in Cosmology, Star evolution, and Solar physics. Further required qualifications and learning outcomes vary within the list of available projects. The exact period of the project will be agreed upon with the supervisor if you are selected. These summer internships are intended for students that are either already master's students at ITA, or are finishing their Bachelor's in Physics and Astronomy at UiO this summer and will apply for a master’s at ITA. 

To apply, please submit the following:

1. CV
2. Transcript (no: karakterutskrift) from higher education.
3. Cover letter (max 1 page) explaining
   1. Your motivation and why you should be selected. 
   2. Prioritized list of maximum 3 projects that you are interested in.
   3. Your availability this summer.
4. if “you are a master’s student at ITA”:
     Write “I am currently a master's student at ITA”
   else:
     Screenshot from the master application portal, that you have a master's at ITA (either Astronomy or CS Astrophysics) as your top choice.

The application should be submitted as a single email to both summer job coordinator Sondre Vik Furuseth (s.v.furuseth@astro.uio.no) and the supervisors of the projects you are applying for (email addresses given in the list of available projects). The application deadline is 23:59 on Monday, April 1
