The Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech invites qualified Technion undergraduate and graduate students to apply for an exciting opportunity to work with the world class faculty of Cornell Tech. The program connects students of the Technion with Cornell Tech/Jacobs faculty who seek short-term interns to assist in research on a variety of faculty-led projects, while also providing meaningful academic and rich cultural experiences for the students. Student researchers have been known to publish with their research group and some have even appointed their faculty mentors as co-advisors for their studies at the Technion!

The summer 2023 program runs from Aug 5 through October 13. Participants will arrive into NYC on Aug 5  In a typical week, a student researcher will spend most of his/her time doing hands-on research directed by their mentor, participate in lab meetings and other academic activities, attend Jacobs-hosted workshops, and check-in with the Jacobs NYC Summer Program co-directors. Students may also choose to participate in optional social activities that occur on and off campus. 

This opportunity is full-time for the duration of the summer program and all participants will be paid a standard hourly rate. Travel and visas are provided, but participants are responsible for acquiring and maintaining housing.
