The Atlas Lab is accepting applications for a limited number of Spring Semester 2025 interns through November 15, 2024. Zoom interviews for selected qualified applicants will begin on November 18, and finalists will be notified the week of December 9.

Atlas Lab Student Team Members support research activity, create social media content, and facilitate public engagement through social media analysis. Students directly benefit from this experience as it provides them with a portfolio of professional and/or academic writing, training in social media listening tools and techniques, and networking opportunities created by interactions with university faculty, staff, and external partners.
