Mathematica’s 2025 Summer Fellows Program has been postponed and will not occur this year. If you would like to be notified of full-time openings that align with your interests, please set up job alerts on our careers page.
About the Program
The Summer Fellowship Program welcomes doctoral students to spend 12 weeks with Mathematica. Fellows will work on their own independent research project (typically their dissertation), which will intersect with one or more of Mathematica’s focus areas.
Fellows will be mentored by senior staff, learn about Mathematica and its work, and have the opportunity to shadow Mathematica research projects and proposals. At the conclusion of the fellowship, fellows will present a seminar on their research project. Each fellow will receive a stipend of $10,000, plus $500 in project-related expenses. View some of the topics covered by prior summer fellows.
Eligibility
- The fellowship is designed for full-time students who are within two years of completing their doctorate degree and will not graduate prior to beginning the fellowship.
- Fellows should have a strong interest in learning more about working in a nonacademic environment.
- Mathematica’s summer fellowship opportunity is available to candidates who wish to work either remotely or from an office; however, many former Fellows have found it especially beneficial to spend at least some amount of time working alongside staff in an office. Our offices are located in Princeton, NJ; Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Cambridge, MA; Ann Arbor, MI; and Oakland, CA.
