2012 Summer Student Program

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is a world-class research laboratory operated by Stanford University. We are seeking students who would like to experience life in the work place, and get paid for it!

There are two summer student programs available at SLAC:

  • The SLAC Summer Student Program:
    Participants in this program must be at least 18 years old. This 12 week program is for high school, undergraduate and graduate level college students that are enrolled in an educational program in the fall of 2012.  The jobs can range from unskilled or semi-skilled, to specialized jobs requiring a couple years of experience.  Students can work at SLAC from May until September, depending upon department needs and students’ school schedules.  The summer student jobs are listed online at http://www6.slac.stanford.edu/WorkingAtSLAC.aspx. Each posting will provide the option to apply for that particular job. You may apply for more than one job.

  • The SLAC Youth Opportunity Program:
    The SLAC Youth Opportunity Program is a 10-week program (June 18 to August 24) for students between the ages of 18-22.  This program is designed primarily to provide added income to families in need, and also to give entry-level students exposure to the work place, plus the opportunity to enhance their job skills. These positions are full time. Your parent or guardian will be required to complete a financial statement. Upon application we also require a copy of your parents’ W2 forms or a copy of their 2011 1040 form to determine eligibility. Applications for this program must be received before May 31, 2012.

To apply and be considered for the Youth Opportunity Program go online to http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/hr/e/YOPProgram.html. All forms must be printed, completed, and mailed or faxed to:
