The SSP Summer Internship Program allows declared Symbolic Systems majors who will be continuing their undergraduate study to work as research assistants on projects defined by Symbolic Systems faculty. The Internship Program is made possible through a combination of external research grants to faculty and a Departmental Grant to the Symbolic Systems Program from the Vice Provost for Undergradaute Education (VPUE). Internships are advertised to students and students post their descriptions securely on this website each winter in a decentralized process we call "Match Madness".
In addition to their project duties, SSP summer interns are expected to:
- Attend special events for interns during the summer.
- Submit evaluations to VPUE by the deadline at the end of the summer.
- Give an oral presentation at the Symbolic Systems Forum in the autumn following the internship.
STUDENTS ONLY
If you are interested in being considered for an internship (and will not have graduated or fulfilled the requirements for your undergraduate degree at the end of this Spring Quarter), you should post a prospective intern profile on this website by Monday, February 16, 2009.

Note: If you are interested in working with Computer Science
Department researchers, you may also want to apply through the CS
Department's CURIS program (application deadline: Tuesday, February 10, 2009).
SSP students are eligible to apply for either program, although
priority for CS Department summer internships is given to CS majors. CS
Department faculty who are SSP-affiliated may offer internships under
either program.
FACULTY ONLY
If you are interested in sponsoring an internship, you should post an internship description on this website by Monday, February 16, 2009. If you are offering multiple internships, you should post a separate description for each one.

FACULTY AND STUDENTS
Beginning Tuesday, February 17, 2009, click here to see the
descriptions that faculty have posted. Pairings between students and
faculty are left to the initiative of both groups. If you are a student
and see a project description that interests you, you should contact
the sponsoring faculty/researchers. Faculty, likewise, are encouraged
to contact students whose interests and qualifications match the
internships they are offering. Check back after the first visibility date, as new internships may have been added in the meantime.
