CoSMoS needs a summer intern to develop a hardware extension to our robots. The lucky intern will get to work on a real robot and will learn a whole lot about robotics, hardware and engineering along the way. That sort of thing looks great on a CV, plus you get paid! Here’s a photo of one of the robots, we have a total of 18:

It’s a really great opportunity if you didn’t manage to get a summer placement in industry this year. I wish I could do it but unfortunately the CoSMoS project ends with my PhD and it can’t be extended for 10 weeks. In my opinion, the most important requirement from an applicant is that they know about microcontrollers, can code in C and can design circuits. An intern which knows or has done more stuff would be nice, but it’s well worth applying for even if you don’t: It’s better to have a proactive and enthusiastic intern who’ll need to do some extra learning than someone who has the knowledge but won’t do anything.
