Students and recent graduates will conduct research and technical projects at national laboratories
Applications are currently being accepted for the spring 2025 term of two 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, October 2, 2024, at 5 p.m. Eastern time.
Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students and recent graduates 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 or associate’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.
Two workshops are planned to provide strategies for submitting a compliant application followed by office hours to answer administrative questions (all times Eastern below). These workshops will introduce the program and application process for each program. The office hours are open to CCI and SULI applicants and letter-of-recommendation writers to answer questions pertaining to uploading transcripts, submitting letters of recommendation, and general questions. Attendance is optional at the workshops and office hours.
- CCI workshop: Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. (register now)
- SULI workshop: Thursday, August 8, 2024, at 2 p.m. (register now)
- SULI and CCI office hours: Thursdays, September 12, 19, and 26, 2024, at 2 p.m. (register now)
Potential mentors at DOE national laboratories 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).
