Alumni Internship Program
The Alumni Internship Program is a new initiative of NanoJapan that was launched in the summer of 2009. The program is open by invitation only to NanoJapan alumni and they will be notified directly by the NanoJapan program of available opportunities.
If you are a company in Japan or in the U.S. who would like to become involved with the Alumni Internship program please see our Industry page for more information.
To date the following companies have provided internship opportunities through the NanoJapan Alumni Internship Program.
STS Elionix - Tokyo, Japan
STS Elionix has been a partner of the NanoJapan program since 2008 when they first hosted a Company Visit & Tour for the NanoJapan 2008 Orientation Program and the 2009 Orientation Program. Program participants received an introduction to STS Elionix and a tour of their research facilities. This relationship was further expanded in 2009 when STS Elionix agreed to be a host for the NanoJapan Alumni Internship Program. During this internship, the student will learn the intricacies of fabricating nanodevices using electron beam lithography (EBL), as well as gaining insight into the manufacturing of these systems. “We view this internship as a win-win situation”, says Ken Koseki, Elionix Overseas Marketing Director, “The student gains the cultural and educational perspective of how a Japanese high tech company operates, while we in turn establish a mutual friendship that will last over the student’s professional career in the nanotechnology field.”
Elionix has been manufacturing electron beam lithography systems for over 30 years. Their EBL systems have the largest market share throughout Asia, and they are able to routinely write patterns with line widths of 5 nanometers. Elionix continues to strive for innovation and develop excellent products to meet the high appraisal of its customers. “Forming close partnerships with our clients, bonded by great trust, have allowed Elionix to thrive throughout the years,” says Koseki, “We look forward to this same partnership with NanoJapan.”
PBXL - Tokyo, Japan
PBXL has been a close partner of Rice University and the NanoJapan program by hosting a number of undergraduate internships with their company in Tokyo. In 2009 PBXL formally became a partner of the NanoJapan Alumni Internship Program and is hosting one student through this program during the summer of 2009. PBXL is a start-up telecommunications/PBX hosting company, co-founded by a Rice alumnus, Jim Weisser '91.
Other Internship Programs
In addition to the formal NanoJapan Alumni Internship program we also encourage alumni and other interested students to look into related internship programs and opportunities worldwide. Participating in an industry internship provides you with the opportunity to learn more about professional opportunities in your field and can also help students determine whether a research or professional career is right for them.
