Securing an Internship

Seeking an Internship

We encourage you to conduct a broad search to find a great academic internship position. Below are some resources to consider using in your search. Not every organization posts their positions on 3rd party sites, so if you have a specific site in mind, be sure to explore their website directly!

Seeking a Virtual/Remote Internship

Virtual internships are internships that are done online or remotely anytime of the year. This allows you to work on a global scale but stay local. You are placed with a company and report to a supervisor. You are in regular contact with that supervisor/team via virtual methods such as a video call, phone call, email and instant messenger. For more information regarding best practices here is a Virtual/Remote Internship Guide.
