Summer Internship Opportunities at the BRITE Program

BRITE stands for Business and Research Innovations To Excellence.

BRITE stands for Business and Research Innovations To Excellence. It’s a program developed and hosted by the Department of Medicine of Stanford University School of Medicine. It’s an experiential learning and practicing incubator internship for students.

We are seeking students who have ideally completed at least one year at a college/university to help develop innovative software applications in the spaces of academic business operations and research administrative operations, in order to support faculty in their pursuits of research, education, and patient care.

The program is hosted in the Department of Medicine, with physical location at Stanford Research Park. It’ll be a combination of onsite and remote work with flexibility to determine portions and schedules that work best individually and for the group.

Intensive, 8 week, full-time internship with with tentative start and end dates of July 8, 2024 – August 30, 2024.

The expected pay range for this position is $22 to $28 per hour.

*Interns are employees and expected to provide authorization to work in the United States. Employment is contingent upon successful completion and passing of a background check prior to the start of employment.

Stanford University provides pay ranges representing its good faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for a position. The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications of the selected candidate, departmental budget availability, internal equity, geographic location and external market pay for comparable jobs.

This program is designed to maximize the interactions and mutual benefits of participating interns and the faculty in the Department of Medicine, through two distinct but interdependent components.

Learning component

This is the initial component where interns meet with faculty and business operations stakeholders to learn their processes and existing support systems in great depth, to understand and relate to the practical issues, problems, shortcomings of existing processes and systems, to identify pain points, bottlenecks and assess as potential opportunities for system improvement.

Hands-on Component

Following the learning and discovery stage, interns will proceed to meet with the in-house development team to further assess feasibility of the development plans, decide whether or not to work on new developments. Pre-selected development projects are always available as backups. Once projects are selected, interns will leverage in-house resources to start and complete the development.

In-house Resources

The projects to be worked on are actual with real-world consequences and impacts to department operations. Therefore, compliance, data privacy, and security are paramount in the development and final applications. The in-house resources are provided to ensure such restrictions and compliances.

Expectations of Outcomes

All work and production from this program are properties of the Stanford University and belong to the operations of department of medicine. A minimally working prototype of the application is expected at the conclusion of the internship. A demo day will be the capstone of all developments and applications to conclude the program.
