Summer Internship Program
OpenDP interns may be undergraduate, post-bacc, or graduate students. We prefer that students join full time and in person for our full 10-week program, but there are also options for part-time, remote, and/or term-time work. There are a limited number of paid internship positions, so students who can apply for their own summer research funding are encouraged to do so and indicate it in their application.
Applicants will also be considered for internships in the broader Privacy Tools Project. Some past OpenDP internships have led to published research papers or senior theses; interns who are interested in a research-oriented internships should indicate that on their application, and we will try to develop a project with a research component.
Visiting Fellows Program
OpenDP Visiting Fellows are part-time positions meant for engineers or scholars in industry or academia who wish to learn about and engage with the OpenDP software suite, bringing this knowledge back to their own work or organization, while also contributing to OpenDP in the process. During their fellowship, OpenDP Visiting Fellows will generally be supported by their own institution (e.g. being “detailed” by their company to OpenDP or using sabbatical pay). For Visiting Fellows from industry, we expect a contribution of additional financial support for the program and OpenDP, detailed below.
