Students will conduct research and technical projects at national laboratories
Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall 2024 term of two undergraduate internship 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 is Wednesday, May 22, 2024, 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 workshops will be held for SULI and CCI (all times Eastern below). Two workshops will introduce the program and application process for each program, followed by the final workshop which will review the application process for each program before highlighting the research opportunities and internship experience at the DOE national labs through an alumni panel discussion.
- CCI workshop: Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. (view the recording)
- SULI workshop: Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at 2 p.m. (view the recording)
- SULI and CCI panel: Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. (register now)
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.
