As Chief Scientist for all of the U.S. Air Force's human-centered research
at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), I solicit your assistance in
helping us spread the word about the Repperger Research Intern program at
our Human Effectiveness Directorate.  A colleague or acquaintance of yours
who works in AFRL suggested I send the information to you for dissemination
to applicable students.

The Repperger Research Intern Program honors the life and works of Dr.
Daniel W. Repperger (1942-2010), who was one of our top scientists and a
mentor of many young engineers and scientists.  Through the program, we will
be providing 8-10 internships this summer for graduate students or
undergraduate students in their junior or senior year to work under the
mentorship of an Air Force scientist.  Additional information and
application instructions are in the attached brochure.  Here's a brief
summary of the program:

·         Program Dates:  June 3 - August 9, 2013

SURVEILLANCE & RECONNAISSANCE APPLICATIONS

NOTE:  Students selected for participation in this program, will be offered
temporary summer employment for the internship by a contractor company to
perform work for AFRL's Human Effectiveness Directorate.  This is not a U.S
Government position.  Selected participants will be required to undergo a
National Agency Check before being granted access to government computer
systems.

If you have questions, please contact Mr. Mike Griffin in my office at (937)
