Students will conduct research and technical projects at national laboratories
Applications are currently being accepted for the spring 2024 term of two programs offered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science: the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program.
- The application deadline for the two programs is Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at 5 p.m. Eastern time.
Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from internship to employment. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists and engineers, assisting them on research or technology projects that support the DOE mission.
SULI is open to full-time students attending four-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree, while CCI is exclusively for community college students. Both programs are stipend-based and offered three times annually in fall, spring, and summer.
Three informational workshops will be held for SULI and CCI (all times Eastern below). One application workshop will be held for each program to provide an overview of the program’s unique requirements and application process. The third and final workshop will include a panel discussion featuring both CCI and SULI alumni.
- CCI application workshop: Wednesday, August 2, 2023, from 3 to 4 p.m. (register now)
- SULI application workshop: Thursday, August 10, 2023, from 3 to 4 p.m. (register now)
- SULI and CCI opportunities workshop: Wednesday, September 6, 2023, from 2 to 3 p.m. (register now)
In recent years, researchers working on the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions Experiment (TRACER) have mentored SULI interns.
Potential mentors should reach out to SULI and CCI program contacts at their labs for information on how to request an intern.
Additional information about SULI and CCI is accessible from the home page of the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS). Resources include lists of participating laboratories, eligibility requirements, application guidance, frequently asked questions, and highlights featuring former interns.
