  • Summer work

    Every summer IDA invites summer associates to work for 10-12 weeks in the summer on quantitative and technical projects related to national security issues.  The website is here: https://www.ida.org/CareersAtIDA/SummerAssociates

    IDA is looking for applicants from a variety of backgrounds (math, physical sciences, and social sciences).  The program’s interdisciplinary nature and IDA’s academic environment would probably appeal to Carleton’s students.  Applicants must be continuing school in the fall (rising seniors and rising graduate students).  You can pass along my contact information (ebartis@ida.org) if anyone has questions.

    Best,

  • Spend Your Winter Break Building an Original Electronics Instructional Guide

    From 2018 grad Chris Anisowicz: 

    E&E is a non-profit that runs summer exposure programs on the energy industry for high school students. Our central program includes a hands-on building project where participants will work on either the design, engineering, or product development team for a solar backpack/solar phone charger. We are currently looking for a physics or computer science student with experience in electronics to help us build a step-by-step instructional guide for the engineering portion of this project. This is a remote, paid, winter externship that will involve building a comprehensive guide that outlines both practical instructions for building the circuit and detailed explanations of each component used in the build. You can apply for the position on the Tunnel before November 14th by searching, “Freelance Content Writer in Electronics.” Students interested in teaching an original photovoltaics curriculum should also apply for our summer position as a 2019 E&E Physics Fellow.
