Google 2010 Internship Program

Google is expanding its summer intern program, and is currently
looking for really talented students to join! Google has
openings in the many areas of Computer Science and Engineering that enable the company to continue rapid advances in an increasingly diverse domain of products and services. Openings are in both our engineering and research teams, but, as you may know, Google tends to mix research and engineering.

According to Alfred Spector, Vice President, Research & Special Initiatives (including, Intern Programs), the Google internship program has been a tremendously beneficial experience for almost every intern, and Google itself also benefits greatly: Papers have been written, new product features launched, etc. Needless to say, the Intern Program devotes much attention to finding useful areas and projects that are tractable in a summer's work. The interns find their fellow Googlers and the Google culture a stimulating experience.

The Google Intern Program will do its best to have an expedited selection process for top students interested in the summer internship. If you are interested in this opportunity please send your resume to Alex Treister at atreister@google.com. Again, Google is very proud of its intern program, and feels that this program offers a great opportunity to expand scientific skills, address real-world problems, and do so with state of the art infrastructure. It's very intense and a lot of fun.
