Universities Research Association (URA) is seeking applications for paid Summer Fellowships for graduate students in 2023 at Sandia National Laboratories.
This program provides research experience in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics that support Sandia National Laboratories' (SNL) Research Foundations. Sandia's mission is "To render exceptional service in the national interest" as one of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Laboratories. As a DOE National Nuclear Security Administration laboratory, Sandia has a core mission in national security that is synergistically served by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across a broad range of disciplines in these Research Foundations.
About
Summer Fellows will work in close collaboration with Sandia's technical staff members to engage in challenging research and development projects. They will also be included in meetings, events, and tours sponsored by the SNL Student Intern Program, SNL Academic Programs, and URA to support professional development and social engagement among the Fellows.
Award
Selected applicants will receive a stipend and participate in the defined research of a hosting SNL Research Foundation. Diverse students and those from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Depending on the work location of the Sandian mentor paired with each student selected, the fellowship will be served either at SNL's Albuquerque, NM or Livermore, CA site.
