I’m extremely excited to announce our new internship program here in Lawrence. Starting this summer we’re going to be hiring interns to join our kick-ass team and learn the ropes.
If you’re a student, or if you’re trying to break into the world of next-generation web development, I can’t think of a better place to get started. You’ll get to spend up to six months developing cool toys (in Django, of course), live in one of the coolest towns in the country, and learn web development from the best.
This is not some namby-pamby fetch-us-coffee-do-our-grunt-work internship; we’ll expect our interns to plan, design, and go through a couple of iterations on a complete application. You should expect to work your butt off and learn a huge amount. And if things go well, there’s a good chance we’ll be offering you a full-time position at the end of the program.
We’ll be paying a generous stipend — more than enough to live comfortably (and eat extremely well!) in Lawrence. If you’re a student, we’re more than happy to work with your school to help you get credit, too.
If this sounds fun to you, drop me an email — jacob -at- lawrence -dot- com — and let me know why I should choose you instead of some other schmuck. Include links to work you’ve done or code you’ve written (in any language) and a short resume, plain text or HTML only.

If I didn't already have a web development internship/job for this summer, I would love to apply. Any chance that this will be a yearly deal? Because, if so, I better get my rear in gear and put the finishing touches on my Django-powered portfolio site.

Indeed - this sounds like an awesome opportunity for us students who have been dabbling with Django. I would most definitely apply if I wasn't already committed to another internship this summer. I'll keep an eye out for next year! Please keep us updated!

I would love to do this for the summer, but I'm afraid Rob Curley already snagged me to head to WPNI. I've got some friends that may be interested in this, so I'll shoot them this way. It sounds like a fun place to work!

Like everyone else: had I known! Put the call out in February/March to ensure all us young talent doesn't get snatched up ;)
I'd love to work for you guys, so let's hope it becomes a yearly thing!

Dang! Too late! Any chance this will be a yearly thing?
