h4. AguaClara Engineers
Student members of the AguaClara team at Cornell are eligible to [apply|AguaClara Engineer Application] for 3 month to 2 year field assignments to assist with [training and capacity building, technology implementation, performance documentation, and dissemination|AguaClara Engineer Progress Reports]. This program will likely grow as demand for the AguaClara technology picks up and the number of implementation partners multiplies. The 1 year and 2 year terms run from summer to summer with a goal of maintaining project continuity with some overlap with the current AguaClara Engineers. The AguaClara Engineers are hired through our in-country partner organization and are paid volunteer wages designed to cover all expenses. Some language proficiency is required and language skills will be developed with short, intensive language training in-country.
