Maplesoft intern program

Maplesoft has been a proud participant in co-operative work/study education programs for over 20 years. Many of our students have come back as permanent employees (though not always after their first degree!), and all have gained valuable experience which they have used to help them along their careers. We are eager to open the door to even more talented, dynamic, motivated individuals world-wide through a new summer intern program. Come join the Maplesoft team!
Numbers and positions vary from year to year, and depend in part on the number and quality of applicants. Positions are potentially available in:

Mathematical programming and algorithm development
Interface development
Technical marketing (including the creation of real-world applications and demonstrations)
Engineering applications and toolboxes
Currently, all positions are in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Students must be familiar with Maple, with a demonstrated ability to use Maple to solve problems.

We are looking for undergraduate students in mathematics, science, computer science, and engineering.

Applications are due Jan. 31, 2008. http://www.maplesoft.com/students/intern/index.aspx


The Fine Print
You should be currently enrolled in an accredited academic institution.
You should graduate no sooner than 3 months before the internship begins. (If you’ve already graduated, please consider applying to the permanent positions found on our careers page.)
A supplement for travel expenses is available, but it may not cover the entire cost of your travel.
Not everyone who applies will be contacted.
Students must be able to obtain a suitable work visa. We will help the student with our end of the paperwork, but we cannot guarantee the visa will be granted.
Successful students may be invited to join the softball team (ability in softball entirely optional), attend barbeques, and participate in pool, chess, or Scrabble® tournaments.
