Get paid to do research

We pay students ($2000 plus) to do research for a month in the summer. If you are finishing 10th – 12th grade we pair you with a world class researcher in your area of interest who will mentor you in this period.

We hire in Santa Fe (NM), Portland (OR), and Austin (TX), as well as hosting visiting students in those cities.

2026 internship dates: July 6 – July 31.
