Internship Opportunities

THE CIRCUIT Program

CIRCUIT students have the chance to participate in cutting-edge research experiences, leveraging key scientific skills gained at American University and cultivating new interests and capabilities in areas of critical importance. These include projects like the National COVID-19 response, the DART asteroid redirection mission, synapse-level neural circuit mapping, cyberphysical systems, AI and Machine Learning projects, and other efforts important to our national security. No experience is needed and we especially encourage trailblazing students with high capability who have had limited opportunities to explore their passions.

Estimated $9,500 stipend and research credit.
