U-High sophomores and juniors can apply for a paid 10-week summer computer science research position at the University of Chicago starting this month.

Held at the Data Science Institute, interns will work among fellow high school and college students for 37.5 hours a week to research areas of interest in the computer science field. Two positions are available for U-High students. 

Participants will be paired with professors and research groups based on the interests and qualifications indicated on their application. 

Applicants must be familiar in at least one coding language and relevant coursework, according to application requirements listed by the Center for Data and Applied Computing. 

“They are looking for students who have initiative who will ask questions and aggressively solve the problems,” Jeremy Schwartz, chair of the computer science department, said.

Seniors can apply for the internship through the typical internship application process.
