Please feel welcome to spread word of the opportunity to great candidates, and help us continue to develop our shared network of Internet researchers working to advance scholarship with impact.
About the Program
Each summer the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University swings open the doors of our vibrant yellow house to welcome a group of talented and curious students as full-time interns - Berkterns! - who are passionate about the promise of the Internet. Finding connected and complementary research inquiries among their diverse backgrounds, students represent all levels of study, are being trained in disciplines across the board, and come from universities all over the world to tackle issues related to the core of the Center’s research agenda. Summer interns jump head first into the swirl of the Berkman Klein universe, where they are deeply and substantively involved in our research projects and efforts.

Time Commitment
The summer 2018 program will run from Monday, June 4, 2018 through Friday, August 10, 2018. Summer internships are full time positions (35 hours/week).
Payment
Interns are paid $11.50 an hour, with the exception of certain opportunities for law students who receive summer public interest funds. No other benefits are provided, and interns must make their own housing, insurance, and transportation arrangements.
Commitment to Diversity
The work and well-being of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society are profoundly strengthened by the diversity of our network and our differences in background, culture, experience, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, ability, and much more. We actively seek and welcome people of color, women, the LGBTQIA community, persons with disabilities, and people at intersections of these identities, from across the spectrum of disciplines and methods.
