IY opportunities at KAUST

Posted on by

Fancy an IY somewhere completely different? Here is a fantastic opportunity. We have a contact (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosemarymills/?originalSubdomain=sa) at KAUST who has contacted us. Rosemary has confirmed to me that CS IY students would be elegible and welcome to apply for their internship program. The take on quite a lot of Interns and researchers from all over the world each year to work on cutting edge developments.

“We are currently offering remote internships (paid $1000 per month)and also on-campus research internships starting from the Fall. The undergraduate internship students would join a lab/project and be paid for the internship and have all relocation expenses and free accommodation whilst here.”

For details see https://vsrp.kaust.edu.sa and navigate to the interns pages.
