Nanotechnology Internship Program
The National Science Foundation supported Mid-Atlantic Nanotechnology Hub (MANTH), located at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Community College of Philadelphia (CCP), have created a paid internship opportunity in nanotechnology for Community College of Philadelphia students. The program provides students with the opportunity to experience applications of advanced nanotechnology in a world-class cleanroom environment. CCP students would carry out this internship at the Singh Center over the course of a summer.
The content of the internship experience will allow for students to prepare samples and carry out processes to analyze structures at the nanometer scale, along with documenting the results of their work. Upon completion of the program, the interns will have a product that demonstrates and summarizes their skills and knowledge gained from their internship (e.g., final report, presentation). Interns will be able to demonstrate competency in a list of tasks, skills and acquisition of knowledge.
This is a paid internship experience during the 14 week summer session (20 hours per week).
