Length of stay:
- Varies, usually 3-6 months
- This also depends on evaluation after 30-45 days of working.
If someone does not have the qualities they showed in the application materials and interview, we reserve the option to discontinue their internship at this point, but it is extremely rare that this happens.
We also provide guidance as the intern works to avoid having to take this measure.


Compensation: A small monthly stipend, around Ch$ 60,000, for lunch & transportation costs. (Interns will need to provide their own funds for living expenses.)


We accept current college/graduate students or recent graduates as interns.
It is very important for us that the intern have a meaningful experience in the Research Department.
It is likely that at some point they may have to help make copies, make phone calls to confirm meetings etc., but these are tasks shared by many in the office when necessary and not our idea of the overall program.
We also want to take advantage of interns' knowledge in tasks relating directly to the Research Department's work, and it is also very important to us that we have someone reliable who takes initiative, so that the department functions smoothly and produces high-quality information.
