Applications for staff positions are first reviewed by UW’s Human Resources team, then are released to APL for further consideration by the hiring manager for the position. If you don’t hear back right away, don’t be worried! Timeframes for recruitments do vary, especially when considering that many of our hiring managers from research departments can be conducting fieldwork for extended periods of time.

Over time, we’ve found this is the best way to make a successful match between the interests and availability of both the intern and their host. Please send us a message through our Connect page. Tell us about yourself, such as where you are in your academic career, your area of study, and if there is a particular area of APL’s research or administration that interests you.
