Application for TMT Hilo Workshop: December 3-7, 2016
Preparing TMT Future Science and Technology Leaders: A Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Researchers
The Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory is hosting a 4-day workshop in Hilo, Hawaii, starting the evening of Saturday, December 3 through Wednesday, December 7. The workshop will include talks by TMT leaders on topics such as project management, a hands-on engineering activity to learn about analog to digital conversion, engage in authentic engineering practices, and gain experience with teamwork and collaboration, as well as summit facility tours and other activities. The workshop participants will be helping to shape a potential future TMT international program with their input and workshop experiences. We are looking for astronomy and engineering graduate students and post-doctoral researchers who are able to come to Hilo for the entirety of the workshop and are interested in helping us shape the future internship program.
