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 best delivers excellent results when people work together. We value potential as much as experience. Within RIS, we care about providing services that allow faculty to focus on their research and not on IT infrastructure.

RIS Internship

RIS offers internship opportunities in hardware, software, and systems engineering. RIS interns can be part of an innovative and passionate team if you’re excited by a team environment, integrally curious, and like to learn new technology while adapting to change, a RIS internship may be right for you.

Successful intern candidates will have a passion for the customer and the details that make their experience with our services exceptional, current state-of-the-art hardware and software technologies and tools, and have a curiosity and excitement about working with and learning new technologies. You will be excited by a team environment and be willing to take on new and unexpected challenges.

It is great to have (but not required) if you have non-academic coding experience (e.g., code challenges, personal projects, GitHub, Open Source, etc.), Experience with Linux operating systems, scripting skills, knowledge of configuration management systems (e.g., Puppet, Ansible), and experience with forms and major cloud platforms. (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc.)
