Research Infrastructure Services (RIS) is committed to providing secure, sustainable, scalable, and integrated research technology services in a collaborative and diverse environment. We believe a diverse group delivers excellent results when people work together. We value potential as much as experience. Within RIS, we prioritize providing services that enable faculty to focus on their research rather than on IT infrastructure. If you’re interested in learning more about RIS and joining our team, please explore our open positions or internship opportunities.
RIS Internship
Join an innovative, collaborative team and gain hands-on experience while learning new technologies in a fast-evolving environment. We offer internship opportunities across software and application development, hardware, systems engineering, and support.
We seek candidates who demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction and attention to detail in delivering exceptional service. Ideal interns are curious, adaptable, motivated to utilize modern tools, willing to embrace new challenges, and enthusiastic about learning new technologies.
Non-academic coding experience (e.g., code challenges, personal projects, GitHub, Open Source, etc.), testing practices, scripting skills, and experience with forms and major cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) are great to have but not required. RIS interns are paired with a dedicated mentor and work on predetermined projects or feature development from start to finish.
