The purpose of the GVU employment page is to provide our students with an additional avenue for accessing information on current internship opportunities locally, nationally and internationally. These postings are received through various sources. If you are interested in posting your internship here, please contact the Internship Coordinator for more information. Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) As one of the most innovative and prolific research laboratories in the U.S., Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) offers its interns a truly exceptional research and work experience. PARC-the birthplace of laser printing, Ethernet, the graphical user interface (GUI), and ubiquitous computing-has a unique multidisciplinary culture spanning disciplines within physical, computational, and social sciences. Graduate interns are fully integrated into PARC's research activities and have the opportunity to receive author credits on publications. Undergraduate interns get to choose which projects they want to work on. MBA interns work directly with research teams and technology commercialization managers to move technologies through all stages of the technology pipeline. Interns are also visibly involved in the broader PARC community through poster sessions, forums, presentations, lab meetings, and so on. Past interns have overwhelmingly responded that their PARC experiences were some of "the best experiences of my life, personally as well as professionally."

Contact: For a flyer see: Motorola Labs – User-Centered Solutions Lab The User-Centered Solutions Lab (UCSL) is part of the Center for Applications, Content and Services Research within Motorola Labs. Our charter is to utilize user-centered iterative prototyping to drive Motorola businesses to realize growth opportunities in application, content and services. We're a dynamic cross-functional team of engineers and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) specialists with a clear focus on advanced development and user-driven innovation: designing complete solutions to real user problems, building prototypes that users can interact with and evaluating prototypes with users. Summer 2004 Internship Opportunities Enhanced Communication – creating new and enriching user experiences through the combination of digital content — pictures, video, music — with conversation. Personal Content Management – enabling people to quickly and easily find and use their personal digital content — pictures, movies, music — on personal devices. Ideal intern candidates will possess skills in both HCI and technical (e.g. software) areas. Interns will participate as members of a project team, addressing design hypotheses through a combination of HCI design, prototyping and user evaluation. Specific intern projects will be chosen to match the skills of the intern to more specific opportunities in our focus areas.

Microsoft Research We are pleased to announce our Internship program in Microsoft Research again this year. Microsoft relies on its research division to lead the way in identifying and developing the technologies of the new century. Imagine having the resources to impact tomorrow's reality today - and having fun while you do it. People here love their work because they get to think big and dream big. At Microsoft you get to collaborate with the best and the brightest. You work with people from all types of backgrounds who excel in a multitude of fields. Why are they here? To create something that matters. Not just to themselves, but to millions of people around the world. And in the process, they can realize their own potential. It's a fun and challenging environment - one powered by innovative people a lot like you. You'll have the opportunity to make a real difference at Microsoft. You'll stretch your skills in new directions and take your talents to new heights. Maybe that's why our intern program is one of the most successful (and popular) in the industry. We are searching for outstanding research scientists with the vision, knowledge, passion, and commitment to be part of our team. What better way to get an up close and personal look at this future than by spending the summer working on very challenging projects with some very bright researchers? Our past interns have greatly impacted research in key technical areas, published papers based on their summer work at MSR, established strong ties with our industrial research staff as well as other interns, been challenged to look at super tough problems in new ways, and all the while, having fun doing it. Here are some comments from our past interns: "Microsoft takes care of its interns very well. The internship was a very pleasant experience and being in Microsoft Research, I was able to meet prominent people from different fields of computer science research. The work that is being done is really cutting edge and being able to be a part of it was exciting to say the least." "My experience as an intern was quite positive; however, I think it's far more likely that in a year or two I will be a faculty member interested in working with my group than that I will actually return to become a member of my group. Knowing this group with a strong commitment to university relationships and R&D related to university instruction will be a huge asset as a faculty member." "My mentor, manager and others at MSR are the very best computer scientists on earth today, and getting an opportunity to work and closely interact with them was a great experience. I learned a lot and gained confidence in the direction my doctoral research is taking." Students are encouraged to apply. If you'd like to learn more about the research groups, check out http://www.research.microsoft.com/research/projects/, then visit http://research.microsoft.com/aboutmsr/jobs/internships/ for more information on our internship opportunities. To apply, please send your resume as a Word document or in ASCII text and recommendation letters to mrintern@microsoft.com. We look forward to hearing from you. |
