Graduate and Undergraduate Student

Nuclear Engineering Internships

Program:  The Graduate and Undergraduate Student Internships are intended to enhance the education of students majoring in science, mathematics, engineering, technology, or other areas that support the mission of the Department of Energy's Nuclear Energy Program. The Department of Energy's (DOE) Nuclear Reactor Technology lead laboratories are Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). These laboratories will make awards to eligible graduate and undergraduates through a grant from DOE. The internships provide an intensive introduction to science and engineering careers through the guidance of experienced mentors. Graduate-level internships in the program are available at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Eligibility:  The program is open to students who have completed their sophomore year and are currently enrolled as a full-time student at the time of application. All awards are contingent upon security access approval by the host laboratories. Participants will not be allowed to commence with the program until this approval is given.

Qualifications:  Applicants will be reviewed on the basis of academic performance and class standing, career goals, recommendations, and compatibility of educational interests and abilities with the needs of ANL, INEEL, and ORNL.

Award:  An internship award includes placement on a project with a stipend starting at $400/week and a housing allowance not to exceed $75/week. Travel to and from the laboratories or home institution may be included in the award. Participants are encouraged to seek academic credit at their home institution.

Selection:  Internship awards are based on mentor's selection and project funding availability. Interns will be notified by the end of March 2004.

Duration:  The internship term is 10-12 weeks for summer appointments. Renewals are competitive and require a yearly updated application.

Health Insurance:  Each participant is required to have coverage under a health insurance plan. It is the responsibility of each participant to secure his or her own insurance coverage before arriving at the appointment site.

Application Deadline:  February 16, 2004

Application Procedure:  Applications must be submitted prior to the program deadline. You may apply to any of the laboratories for consideration. On-line applications are available as follows:
