Summer Internships

We are pleased to announce that applications for PTI's Summer 2025 internships are now open! The deadline for all internship applications is February 28, 2025! 

Humanities Internships

Aspiring Scholars and Professionals (ASAP) is a cohort-based internship program at Princeton University's Emma Bloomberg Center for Access & Opportunity. It's designed to introduce undergraduates to higher education careers in the humanities and qualitative social sciences. ASAP internships are 8-week summer institutes during which students participate in professional development and research methods workshops. Students are paired with a Princeton faculty or staff member for the duration of their professional or research internship. ASAP interns may also be able to extend their internships into the fall semester. 

These internships require require full-time participation, including through a physical presence on Princeton's campus during the normal work week. Participants cannot hold any outside employment or take summer courses during the internship. Interns will receive a weekly stipend, on-campus housing and meals (or a living stipend and transportation allowance to commute to campus), research and professional development funds, and access to Princeton University Library resources for a full year. 

STEM Internships

Have you considered a major or career in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) field? Summer research internships can be great places to explore new topics, learn new skills, and build your academic network. Since 2017, PTI has partnered with Princeton faculty to offer intensive paid summer internships for justice-impacted undergraduate students interested in exploring one or more STEM fields.

This summer, we are offering two STEM internship opportunities to undergraduates from two- and four-year institutions:

  1. Coding Foundations of Research is designed for undergraduates excited to increase their proficiency with computers and includes intensive training in computer literacy and coding with Python. Students will apply their new coding skills to analyze scientific data from the field of astronomy, supported by instructors through group and individual instruction. Students will also learn about computer-based research in a variety of STEM and social science fields. At the end of the summer, students will present their work to their peers, instructors, family, and friends in a celebratory symposium. Questions? Contact Dr. Marion Alberty ([email protected]). 
  2. Computational Biology Research: Gateway to STEM provides intensive training in computational biology as well as in the principles of scientific thinking and research scholarship. Students in this program are assigned to join the research group of a participating faculty mentor and receive guidance in their work from a day-to-day mentor in their research group. This internship is a National Science Foundation-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). Questions? Contact Dr. Jannette Carey ([email protected]).

Both STEM internships are 9 weeks long (June 2-August 1, 2025) and require full-time participation, including through a physical presence on Princeton's campus during the normal work week. Participants cannot hold any outside employment or take summer courses during the internship. Interns will receive a stipend of $700 per week, on-campus housing and meals (or additional funds to defray off-campus housing, meals, and transportation costs), and ongoing support through community groups and social events. Interns have free access to Princeton University's considerable library, computing resources, gym, and other resources.
