PhD Residency Internship 2024 at X – a Google Company – Exclusive For Chemistry Candidates
2024 PhD Residency – Platypus – Electrochemistry/Electrolyzer Engineering Internship
THE FOUNDATION OF AN AMAZING JOURNEY Our goal at X is to make the world a radically better place. In order to do that we seek fresh unexpected perspectives, from different fields, and that’s why we’re excited about you. Life here isn’t easy, but it’s fun
X is Alphabet’s moonshot factory. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.
