    INTRODUCTION

    At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

    YOUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    IBM Quantum is an industry first initiative to build universal quantum computers for business, engineering and science. This effort includes advancing the entire quantum computing technology stack, exploring applications to make quantum broadly usable and accessible, and growing the field of quantum computing. With a worldwide network of Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, researchers, educators, and enthusiasts, we are committed to driving innovation for our clients in the IBM Quantum Network and the Qiskit Community, while helping to build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive quantum workforce.

    You will be part of a team whose mission is to grow the quantum computing workforce in a variety of constituencies around the world. As an IBM Quantum Community Partnership Intern, you will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary, global team of developers, designers, researchers, and engineers to bring quantum computing experience to a wide audience. If you are self-motivated, curious, and love to share your passion for technology with others, we have the right opportunity for you! We are now accepting applications for a IBM Quantum Community Partnership Intern in 2021 to join our team working to strengthen the quantum community from the first introduction to quantum through quantum computing research and development. IBM Quantum Community Partnership Interns will have the opportunity to work on projects related to blogging, scientific and technical writing, quantum education, outreach, community events, and open-source software, among other areas of focus.

    The ideal candidate must be able to work with internal and external stakeholders in order to deliver polished written content for quantum computing community members. Students from around the world with varying backgrounds and professional interests and curiosities are encouraged to apply for this unique paid internship experience. The IBM Quantum internship program will connect you with other students, university programs, IBM Quantum Network organizations, and the quantum computing community. From contributing to the open-source Qiskit framework, to fundamental research in quantum computing, to helping people understand the relevance of quantum computing, IBM Quantum interns will have the opportunity to gain valuable skills and experiences essential for future professional opportunities as well as continued studies. IBM Quantum interns will have the opportunity to:

    • Build and deliver roadmaps for strategic partnerships
