BRIC Architecture is seeking current students to join us as we partner with our clients and communities to design places that reflect, welcome, engage, and support many generations of learners.
We collaborate with you to identify and cultivate a range of experiences with our clients and industry partners that are responsive to your interests and goals. Our summer internship program is responsive to your interests and goals. Opportunities will include collaboration with project teams and clients, site visits, community engagement, project-based design and documentation, independent research, and mentorship. Summer internships will be hosted in our Portland office.
We seek students who can communicate utilizing graphics, artwork, and writing; who can articulate and reflect on compelling and formative stories; who demonstrate a passion and curiosity about a variety of ideas.
Please send a cover letter, resume/CV, and representative samples of creative or analytical work. Material may be sent via PDF attachment but should not exceed 15MB in size. Link to a website showcasing a candidate’s work should be supplementary to the PDF attachment. When presenting collaborative work, please indicate your role(s) and contributions. Material should be emailed to: careers@bric-arch.com. Applications will be accepted until Monday, April 24, 2023. We will review applications on an ongoing basis and anticipate holding interviews the first week of May. This is a full-time, paid summer internship of at least 10 weeks, beginning in June 2023 and extending through August 2023.
We understand that many students experience barriers to accessing internships. We will work with prospective applicants to reduce these barriers. Assistance will include travel or housing stipends to offset the cost of relocating to Portland. Additionally, we welcome the extension of our relationships past the extent of summer internships. This support may include part-time remote work and/or future in-person opportunities.
