In the summer intern program, each student works together with a researcher on a project of mutual interest. Typically this project addresses a significant research issue, and involves implementing a system to solve a problem or test an idea. The topics are chosen so that they can be substantially completed in the course of a summer. Usually, we hire graduate students enrolled in a Ph.D. program, though strong Masters students and undergraduates are considered. Both domestic and international students are encouraged to apply.
Salaries are competitive, and commensurate with the applicant's qualifications.
