Overview:
|
The
American Physical Society and IBM co-sponsor a research
internship program for undergraduate women. The goal is
to encourage women students to pursue graduate studies in
science and engineering. The internships are salaried positions
typically 10 weeks long at one of three IBM research locations
(San Jose, CA, Austin, TX, or Yorktown Heights, NY), and
include in addition a $2,500 grant, plus the opportunity
to work with an IBM mentor. The Watson lab has a full range
of research, as does the Almaden lab, and the Austin lab
focuses on software and systems. Research areas of the internship
are individually chosen so as to optimize the match between
the skills and interests of the student, and the ongoing
research programs of the laboratory.
