Does the lab take on summer interns? I have a student who, judging from the listing, would be a good fit for the lab, but who won't graduate for another year. If there's something more temporary/entry-level available, I'd love to be able to point her to it.

Thanks!

As far as I know the idea is to hire someone for a period of 1 year (though I'm sure the contract is extendable if both sides are happy), normally starting in the summer. Since the money for this just came in now, they're looking to have someone start earlier, in March if possible. If they won't find anyone they'll try again in the summer when a new batch of students graduates.

As for summer internships, I'm don't think those exist but it might be something they'd consider if there was interest. We can have undergraduates from MIT and collaborating institutions as RAs for credit or pay, but I don't know about other students. You can try emailing to ask - the person to contact would be Martin Hackl, you can find his contact info in various places online.

Don't most people not graduate until May/June? I would think March would be mid-semester for most students.

As I said. They'll try now and see what happens. Might have to wait until the summer.
