Abstract

Externally Funded Postdocs and Internship Opportunities @ HP Labs Submitted by Lueny Morell, Program Manager, Strategy Team, Hewlett Packard Laboratories lueny.morell@hp.comInnovation and invention represent the livelihood of companies in a flat world. Companies mustinnovate or perish. Both advances in technology, and the entrepreneurial culture that is wellingrained in the mindset of successful companies and their research labs, need to find a wayinto science and engineering higher education systems to help to develop talent that can notonly use technology, but also help create it and develop new business opportunities with it.Universities are usually the preferred venue for post-doctoral candidates (postdocs) to spend 2to 3 years further expanding their research interests, experience and networks before formallyinitiating their careers with a company, university, or self-owned business. Nevertheless,industry research labs can also provide ways to engage not only faculty and students but alsopostdocs in innovation and in the transfer of state-of-the-art research results and emergingtechnology areas into new businesses. In corporate labs future science and technology leaderscan experience real-life R&D and entrepreneurial experiences that turn inventions intoproducts and services. In other words, they can experience research with a purpose, other thanpublishing papers or writing theses. While Hewlett Packard Laboratories (HP Labs) has a longtradition of hosting postdocs and interns (e.g., in 2011 HP Labs hosted well over 100 interns atits Palo Alto facility), during the last 3 years it has been providing research experiences topostdocs, MS/PhD students and recently graduated engineers who are funded by governmentagencies. This presentation will provide a brief description of HP Labs research portfoliofollowed by a few examples of intern and postdoc experiences.
