Are you an undergraduate student interested in gaining first-hand research or technical experience in the areas of energy sciences, nuclear physics, plasma physics, or accelerator research? Then this session is for you! Come learn about two internship opportunities available through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists - the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program. Panellists will include former SULI and CCI interns, a DOE National Laboratory research scientist with experience mentoring interns, and National Laboratory program staff.
WDTS lab-based internship programs are opportunities for 2- and 4-year college and university students to discover science and technology careers at the DOE National Laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from intern to employment. Under the mentorship of scientists and engineers at DOE laboratories, SULI and CCI interns engage in real-world research and technical projects, respectively, that advance solutions in areas including materials sciences, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, quantum information science, machine learning, nuclear and renewable energy, fusion energy R&D, accelerator technology, environmental management, and advanced manufacturing. Both programs are stipend-based and available in the Spring, Summer, and Fall terms.
