A note from Robert Patterson ’13, the hiring manager for this position:

This would be an excellent opportunity for a graduating senior looking for a paid position. We have successfully either hired or found a position somewhere for every intern we’ve had on the team. We would expect the intern to stay until at least the beginning of October. The internship can be extended beyond the initial period.
