Scholars at the beginning of
their career studying the
history of electrical technology and
computing are invited to contact
the Center to be considered for
a paid internship at the
Center's offices on the Rutgers
University campus in New Brunswick,
New Jersey.
The intern program seeks to
provide research experience for
graduate students in the
history of electrical and
computer technologies, while
enlisting the help of promising
young scholars for the Center's
projects. The intern generally
works full-time for two months
at the History Center on a
Center project that is connected
to his or her own area of
interest. This time is usually
during the summer, but other
arrangements will be considered.
Interns are also encouraged to
consult with the Center's staff
and its associates, and guided
to research resources in the area.
The internship is designed
for those near the beginning or
middle of their graduate
careers, but advanced
undergraduates and advanced
graduates will also be considered.
Special consideration is often
given to scholars from outside the
United States who might not
otherwise have an opportunity to
visit historical resources in this country.
The stipend paid to the
intern is US$3,500, but additional
funds may be available to
defray travel costs, depending on
the intern’s
circumstances. There is no formal
application form. To apply, please
mail a curriculum vitae showing your
studies in electrical history
along with a cover letter describing
the sort of project you would be
interested in doing. For more
information on this and other
financial support provided to
scholars, please see the IEEE
