The UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellows Program is now accepting applications for summer 2012 internships. Paid summer internships at venture capital-funded Silicon Valley high tech start-ups will be made available to up to 10 graduate students at UC Berkeley.

Who may apply?

• You must be a 1st year Haas MBA student or an MS or PhD student in Engineering or the School of Information
• You must be a full-time UC Berkeley graduate student returning to UCB in Fall 2012
• You must have completed a Bachelors degree in engineering or science

How do I apply?

Bring the following materials, clipped together with a cover sheet “Attention Andrew Isaacs” to Room S550 in the Student Services Wing of the Haas School of Business: (a) a one page resume (b) a one-page essay stating how you feel you will benefit from the opportunity, and why you are well suited for this internship (c) two letters of recommendation, with at least one, if possible, from a previous employer. Both letters of recommendation must include the telephone number of the recommender, who will be contacted if you are selected as a finalist. Applications must be submitted by noon on November 3, 2011. Finalists will be interviewed on November 11; winners will be announced by November 18.

What kind of work will I perform under this internship?

Your work under this internship will be determined by the executives of the company where you are employed as well as by your background and level of experience. The type of work may be senior staff or operational work involving product management, marketing, business development or engineering.

How is this program different from other internships?

Being a Mayfield Fellow differs substantially from other corporate internships, in the following ways:

• The selection process is tough. If you are chosen, you will be offered an opportunity that recognizes your potential in management and technology.
• Mayfield Fellows form an association that lasts for life, and benefits you by welcoming you into a network of high tech professionals in Silicon Valley.
• You will have four layers of mentorship: an executive at the company where you will intern, a partner at a venture capital fund, an alumnus of the Mayfield Fellows Program, and a faculty advisor from Haas.
• During the summer, you will visit each of the other companies hosting a Mayfield Fellow, meet the management there, and learn that company’s business and strategy.

Which companies are hosting the internships?

The companies hosting interns under this program are venture capital-backed start-ups in various high technology fields, most located in Silicon Valley. Fellows will begin interviews at these companies in March and April, 2012, and they and the companies will jointly choose the best fit for both parties based on opportunities available. Salaries are competitive based on normal rates in industry, and are paid by the company.
