I'm a Dartmouth 2000 and the owner of a game studio in New York City. We are the developers of the popular iPhone/iPad word game "W.E.L.D.E.R." We are expanding our development slate for 2012, with an exciting array of products planned.

I'm reaching out to my alma mater to see if perhaps there is a student who would be interested in a paid internship during the spring, summer, or fall this year. It should be a fun and interesting experience for some talented individuals.

We have 2 positions we are offering right now.

1, We have some short term contract work for a student or assistant coder. Position pays $15/hour, and requires familiarity with XCode and iOS development. About 20 hours of work initially, but likely more will be coming after this initial job. Work can be done off-site (ie this can be a current Dartmouth student).

2, We are seeking an intern for a 10 week period, which can coincide with Dartmouth's Spring or Summer semester. Candidate should have knowledge of iOS programming languages, as well as be familiar with the iOS development ecosystem including XCode and iTunes Connect. Mac and Android development experience is a plus. Familiarity and interest in mobile gaming is recommended. Position provides a stipend of $500/week.

What defines Audubon’s unique value is a powerful grassroots network of nearly 500 local chapters, 23 state offices, 43 Audubon Centers, Important Bird Area Programs in 46 states, and 700 staff across the country. Audubon is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).

Position Summary:

Audubon is looking for a 6 month Program Intern. This paid position will be based at Audubon’s national headquarters in their beautiful Platinum LEED Certified “green” offices in New York City. The intern will work directly with Audubon’s development staff on the Women in Conservation Program and the organization’s prestigious Rachel Carson Award. Additionally the intern will be working with Award Council Founding Chair, Allison Rockefeller, in her midtown offices near Rockefeller Center.

Reproduced below is an excerpt from the follow-up e-mail from a talk Nick did at Sudikoff just before Homecoming (with the support of the Computer Science Department):

As promised, I'm attaching a list of job opportunities from fellow YCombinator startups. These aren't companies that do on-campus recruiting, and there are a lot of exciting ones, so take a look.

Also, as Dan mentioned during the talk, he's looking for someone technical to work on Outfittr, "zipcar for outdoor gear". You can reach him at … outfittr.com
