Research at Cisco

Cisco Research Center

The Cisco Research Center (CRC) connects university researchers with Cisco. The CRC supports gift awards to universities based on research proposals from faculty and helps graduate students to identify internships and full-time employment opportunities.

Cisco welcomes the opportunity to support and to collaborate with researchers. The objective for Cisco is to explore new technologies and market adjacencies; attract the best talent (those with recent masters and doctoral degrees); and to give back to the community.


Cisco welcomes the opportunity to foster research and employment opportunities for graduate students. Students represent the future of research and bring their leading edge experience and enthusiasm to Cisco. Internships are available for students each summer. Full-time employment opportunities through the Cisco Choice hiring program are available through on-campus interviews.


The Cisco Research Center (CRC) is dedicated to matching researchers to Cisco engineers – and vice versa – to foster research relationships. To develop relationships, researchers are invited to give talks at Cisco, participate in research symposia, and propose research projects which are considered for funding.
