Reference and availability information

Please ask this person to send their letter to bsrc@berkeley.edu ahead of the February 12, 2021 deadline. It is your responsibility to ensure that they do so - if we don't receive a letter on your behalf by the deadline, we will be unable to consider your application.
Email address of the above referee *
Are you available to be in Berkeley, CA for the duration of the program (June 7 - August 13, 2021)? Note that if public health measures do not permit the internship to be held in person, we anticipate a virtual internship to take place over the same dates. *
What are your accommodation preferences? *
A stipend of $8364 is provided. Participants are responsible for paying their own travel, accommodation and meal costs out of the stipend. You are welcome to make your own accommodation arrangements on the private rental market (and we may be able to put you in touch with students who are subletting over the summer). In previous years, some participants have found the International House near campus to be a convenient and reasonably-priced option, although please note that they require payment up front; we may be able to make a group booking if there is sufficient interest. See http://ihouse.berkeley.edu/applicants/summer.php for 2020 details and costs.
