About Brave
Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. WeÂve built a free web browser that blocks creepy ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly independent index, a browser-native crypto wallet, and a private ad network (opt-in!) that directly rewards you for your attention. And weÂre just getting started. Over 80 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.
The internet is a sea of ads, hackers, and echo chambers. Big Tech makes huge profits off our data, and tells us whatÂs true and whatÂs not. Brave is fighting back. Join us!
Summary
Brave is proud to offer summer internships for Ph.D.-level students that involve working on ground-breaking technologies that make the web faster, safer, and more private for millions of people worldwide. BraveÂs mission is also to change the way advertising... is done on the web.
You should be ready to tackle hard problems that involve building software that will be shipped to millions of people worldwide. Brave is delving into challenges that are deeply connected to cutting-edge academic research. To address many of these complex issues, we are in touch with several academic groups worldwide and we are excited to offer research internships for students who are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program.
You will be part of Brave, will be paired with a mentor, and will be working alongside a larger Brave team. We offer internships in both the US and Europe. Most internships start in June 2025 and last three months, although there is some amount of flexibility for exceptional candidates.
