2008 Summer Student Program

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) 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 16 years old. This program hires high school, undergraduate and graduate level college students. The jobs can range from unskilled or semi-skilled, to specialized jobs requiring a couple years of experience. Students who are 18 years and older may work in any areas at SLAC. Additional safety restrictions will apply to students ages 16 and 17. Students can work at SLAC from May until September, depending upon department needs and students’ school schedules.  Students ages 16 and 17, who have not graduated from High School, will be required to obtain a Work Permit from their school prior to starting Employment at SLAC.  The summer student jobs are listed online at http://www-public.slac.stanford.edu/hr/jobs/joblist.asp?catid=0200.
