ResponsibilitiesResearch Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world's best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer. As part of our team, Research Interns will contribute to a large-scale research project, working collaboratively with full-time researchers, developers, and fellow interns. The Research Intern's focus will be on driving a self-contained component or aspect of the project that will be integral to the broader objectives, offering a unique opportunity to influence the project's overall trajectory and outcomes. | |
