SRC 1997 Summer Intern Program Announcement
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Digital Equipment Corporation's Systems Research Center (SRC) invites
applications for our 1997 summer intern program.

ABOUT SRC

SRC is the largest of Digital's four research laboratories. It is
located in downtown Palo Alto, California and consists of about 60
technical staff members and 15 support people.

Current research at SRC encompasses a number of themes:
distributed systems, Internet commerce, programming languages,
performance optimization, user interfaces and graphics, theory,
formal methods, and hardware. We try to maintain a balance in the
focus of our projects, with some nearer-term and others long-term.

You can learn more about SRC by visiting our home page at
www.research.digital.com/SRC/home.html and our Research Report series at 
http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/publications/src-rr.html.

THE SUMMER INTERN PROGRAM

Each summer, SRC hosts twelve students for a three-month
internship. The admissions process is quite competitive.
Once accepted, each intern is matched with a host; together
they pick a project of mutual interest.

Our interns are usually graduate students in computer science
Ph.D. programs who are interested in working on a project related
to the research we do.  We occasionally have interns who are
undergraduates about to enter a Ph.D. program.  International
students are eligible to apply.

There are no specific starting dates for the summer intern
program.  The majority of interns start some time between mid-May
and early June, depending on their university's academic calendar.

Summer interns are paid travel expenses and a salary that is
commensurate with their qualifications.

HOW TO APPLY

1. Send your curriculum vitae (CV) to David Chaiken at [email-masked].
   Please ensure that your CV is in plain ASCII, not PostScript, 
   and includes the names and e-mail addresses of three technical
   references.  It will be helpful if your CV includes a paragraph
   describing your current research interests.
       
2. Arrange to have each of your references send a letter of recommendation 
   to the address above.  ASCII is preferred, but PostScript is acceptable
   too.  It is your responsibility to ensure that the letters 
   are sent to us; SRC will not contact your references for you.

IMPORTANT DATES        

Your CV and letters of recommendation must be received by February 14,
1997, but the earlier the better.  February 14 is a firm deadline!
We will make all acceptance decisions by the beginning of April at the latest.
