NC State High-Performance Computing Internship

The 3 Internships are through OIT’s Project Management Lite Internship Program.

We need help with several projects, all having to do with helping us improve our efficiency, communication, and documentation.  We welcome not only candidates from computer science, engineering and physics, but also those from graphic design or technical writing.

Students do not need to know high-performance computing – we will teach all the required HPC.  The prerequisite skills are listed below along with the job descriptions.  The roles described below are what we have in mind now, but positions have the potential to evolve according to the interest, talent, and creativity of the intern.

To Apply:

All applicants are to register and apply through ePack.  Do not submit directly to Lisa or HPC list.
