Technologies Bell Laboratories Summer Research Program offers women and members of underrepresented minority groups the opportunity for technical employment experience at our research and development laboratories in Bell Labs. The program, primarily directed toward undergraduate students who have completed their second or third year of college, is designed to attract students into scientific careers, by placing participants in working contact with experienced research scientists and engineers. Salaries will be commensurate with those of regular Bell Laboratories employees with comparable education. During the summer, living accommodations at a nearby college will be arranged for students who desire them. Bus transportation, between campus housing facilities and Bell Laboratories, is provided.
Participants are free, however, to make their own arrangements for board and transportation.
Upon reporting for work, each summer employee will be reimbursed for air or surface travel expenses, in an amount not to exceed the cost of round trip economy class airfare. Selection of Candidates Selection of candidates is based on academic achievement, personal motivation, and compatibility of student interests with current Bell Laboratories activities. Candidates selected are assigned to projects that complement their background and future goals. Through the research assignment, and close contact with experienced scientists and engineers in a research and development environment, Bell Laboratories hopes to provide a summer working experience that challenges and rewards students and further stimulates their interest in scientific careers. Candidates must have demonstrated interest and motivation in scientific fields.
