Mitacs summer internships
by Daniel O'Donnell 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Hi all, This programme is certainly of interest to members of this list and people they know. There are some great paid internships available, including two in my labs at the U of L. The programme is aimed at international students (from high, mid, and low income economies) who wish to intern with Canadian academics. Our positions involve XML work on journals or 3D and Linked Open Data work on the Visionary Cross project. We welcome excellent students in either of these. But there are lots of other positions available! -dan
