The Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is an academic year-long program that encourages US citizens, diverse, and gender candidates. The program combines a structured undergraduate research experience with industry mentorship. In addition, the program design increases retention of students interested in majors relevant to the semiconductor industry and better prepares these target groups for a full-time opportunity upon graduation or progressing to graduate school programs. It should allow opportunities for URP sponsors to network and/or mentor URP students including an annual recruiting event hosted by SRC to match member company job opportunities with URP students.
Students will be selected by URP Sponsor companies to participate as a URP Sponsor named scholar for the academic year. Each scholar will receive a $2500 stipend to work a minimum of 5 hours a week in the lab on an approved project for the academic year as part of the URP program. URP scholars will be invited to a recruiting event to network with the opportunity to interview for internships or permanent hire positions with the URP Sponsor companies. URP will pay for scholars travel to the recruiting event. URP scholars should expect hands on industry mentorship via conference calls, campus visits and/or online workshops etc.
