Description

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is accepting applications for its 2016 summer internship. The full-time program will run from June 6 to Aug. 12.

Selected candidates join research teams on topics such as cybersecurity and academic innovation, in addition to participating in special lectures and other events with Berkman Center faculty and fellows.

Each summer the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University swings open the doors of our vibrant yellow house to welcome a group of talented and curious students as full-time interns - Berkterns! - who are passionate about the promise of the Internet. Finding connected and complementary research inquiries among their diverse backgrounds, students represent all levels of study, are being trained in disciplines across the board, and come from universities all over the world to tackle issues related to the core of Berkman’s research agenda. Summer interns jump head first into the swirl of the Berkman universe, where they are deeply and substantively involved in our research projects and efforts.

Eligibility

To be eligible all candidates should meet following requirements:

Internships are open to students enrolled across the full spectrum of disciplines.

Internships are open to students at different levels of academic study including those in bachelor’s, master’s, law, and Ph.D programs.

Summer interns do not need to be U.S. residents or in school in the U.S.; indeed, we encourage international students to apply.

Summer interns do not need an existing affiliation with Harvard University.

Remuneration

Interns are paid $11.50 an hour, with the exception of certain opportunities for law students who receive summer public interest funds (more about these specific cases at the link for law students below).
