INTERNSHIP PICK OF THE WEEK
ATLAS/CERN 2009 Multimedia Contest and Paid Internship Program

Monday July 6, 2009
Interested students can win a paid multimedia internship for fall at CERN (the largest particle physics laboratory in the world and birthplace of the World Wide Web) in Geneva, Switzerland. Students should familiarize themselves with The Atlas Experiment prior to applying for the internship. This Experiment includes physicists from over 169 universities and laboratories as well as 700 students. Atlas is one of the largest international collaborative efforts that has ever been attempted in the physical sciences.

The research being completed is expected to make enormous strides that will eventually end up impacting young people to take an interest in studying and appreciating the sciences.

They are seeking creative students who are interested in working with scientists at the CERN site. All candidates must create a video/multimedia project in English that is less than 5 minutes in order to apply for the internship.

The deadline to apply for this internship for fall semester is July 31st.

The movie Angels & Demons with Tom Hanks is about a race against time between him and CERN scientists where antimatter has been stolen from a secret laboratory at CERN.
