Academic Requirements:

Students with backgrounds in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, chemical and electrical engineering – and related fields are welcome to apply.

Why It’s Special:

In just over a year, you can gain:

  • 9-months work experience.
    This year’s average, annualized internship salary is over $64,000.
  • A master’s degree in chemistry or applied physics.
    Focus areas: PV/ Semiconductors, Polymers, Molecular Sensors and Optics.
    (We also have a track in bioinformatics that follows a similar model. This session will focus on the four tracks above).
  • A professional network.
    That will provide the foundation for a career.
  • A resume with something on it.
    Close to 90% of student interns have regular positions within 3 months of completing their internships.
