This may be of interest to you. Happy New Year! -Crista --------------------------------------------------------------------- XEROX CORPORATE RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY CENTERS SUMMER INTERN PROGRAM URL http://sandbox.parc.xerox.com/summer96applications/ Each year, Xerox offers a wide variety of paid summer intern positions in research and advanced development. We now invite highly qualified graduate students to apply. ELIGIBILITY To qualify for an internship, you must hold a Bachelor's degree and be enrolled in an advanced degree program by the time the internship starts. If you have yet to earn your Bachelor's you may still apply, provided you'll have earned it by June. QUALIFICATIONS Preliminary candidate selections are based mainly on the match between applicant skills and project requirements. We request two letters of recommendation to give us insight about your accomplishments, work habits, creativity, and dedication. Preference is sometimes shown for the more academically mature students, who are likely to become productive members of their teams during the 13-week internships. APPLICATION CONTENTS Please submit a current resume via email, plain-text ascii only. In addition, please arrange for two letters of recommendation from faculty members or work supervisors familiar with your current efforts. Electronic recommendation letters should come directly from the authors' workstations; any forwarded recommendations will be discarded. HOW TO APPLY All materials must be received by February 14. You will need to apply separately to each location where you wish to be considered, and then ensure that your recommendations are submitted to those locations too. Email application forms are linked to the project lists on our webpage. Selecting a sitename will bring up a form for that location. Please insert all the information requested, ensuring the plain-text ascii version of your resume fits into the ample space provided. If you are unable to take advantage of the hypertext links provided, then please email your plain-text ascii resume, and ask your references to send their plain-text ascii recommendation letters, to the center(s) at which you wish to be considered. Contact information is provided after each project list below.
