PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) collaborates with sponsors and clients to discover breakthrough business and technology concepts that solve real needs, and transform how enterprises deliver value to customers. PARC’s physical, computer, biological, and social scientists take an agile, cross-disciplinary approach to innovation, with the vision, expertise, and instinct to convert groundbreaking scientific findings into industrial-strength prototypes. Founded in 1970 as part of Xerox Research, then incorporated in 2002 as an independent research business, PARC is celebrated for such innovations as laser printing, distributed computing and Ethernet, the graphical user interface (GUI), object-oriented programming, and ubiquitous computing. PARC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Corporation.

Every year, PARC invites highly qualified students to apply to our internship program. As one of the most prolific innovation centers in the world, we offer a truly exceptional internship experience.

Considered valuable members of our community, our interns are fully integrated into the daily activities of PARC's highly collaborative, multidisciplinary culture. PARC interns have the opportunity to:

• work with leading researchers in the physical, computer, biological, and social sciences;
• pursue independent projects;
• engage in different stages of the research or business-development pipeline;
• participate in lab meetings, presentations, poster sessions, and special programs; and
• receive authorship on publications or patents.

A number of PARC employees also started their careers here as interns, and previous interns overwhelmingly described their internships as one of “…the best experiences of my life, personally as well as professionally.”
