Yahoo! Academic Relations

Yahoo!’s partnerships with universities are broad and deep. Our open, collaborative research environment has substantial ties to academia and an extensive back-and-forth flow of ideas and visits. We’re growing the number of new graduates we hire and we engage students in a wide variety of exciting programs. We support campus events and academic meetings, and we love to share the kinds of challenging problems in the world of the Internet that we deal with every day.

Come explore collaborations, visits, employment, symposia, sponsorships, and other ways in which we can work together. Our employees are passionate about their alma maters, and stay actively involved with all aspects of university life, and we’d love to hear your ideas for deepening our partnerships with you.
