Summer | High School | Undergraduate | Graduate | Cooperative Education
How would you like to gain experience in your field of study, explore career options, and showcase your talents and skills for potential full-time employment? Through the Graduate Professional internship program at Sandia National Laboratories, you can have it all. The Internship Program is open to graduate students majoring in technical and nontechnical disciplines.
Graduate students are employed on a part-time (30 hours per week) or full-time (summer and official school breaks only) basis while actively pursuing the completion of a degree. Documented work assignments or projects must be professional in nature and must complement their Sandia-focused discipline (science, math, engineering, technology/business or CIS/MIS).
APPLY NOW for a graduate student internship by inserting "student" into the keyword search at the External Job Posting Page.
For year-round or summer graduate programs, contact Richard Alexander (rjalex@sandia.gov or 505-844-6823).
Successful undergraduate student interns may be considered for graduate school support via one of the following fellowships:
"The National GEM Consortium's primary focus is to administer and award full fellowships with paid internships to highly qualified under-represented students who wish to pursue graduate studies in engineering or science. GEM's program activities, however, go beyond financial support by engendering student success in academic and professional environments. GEM has a solid success record in implementing effective programs to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation of minority students."
Eligibility Requirements: MS Engineering Program Applicants must be a junior, senior, or graduate of an engineering or computer science program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) at the time of application. Ph.D. Engineering or Science Program Applicants must be a senior, masters student, or graduate of an engineering or applied science program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) at the time of application. Applicants must be from one of the following underrepresented minority groups: Native American, African American, Latino, Puerto Rican, or other Hispanic American. Additional requirements include: a minimum 3.2 GPA (Sandia requirement); U.S. citizenship and acceptance by an accredited graduate program. http://www.nd.edu/~gem/
"NPSC offers a unique graduate fellowship in the physical sciences and related engineering fields. It is open to all U.S. Citizens, but with emphasis on recruitment of applications from historically underrepresented minorities and women. An NPSC Fellowship covers the first two or three years of graduate school, depending on the employer who sponsors the fellowship, with the possibility of continuation for several more years providing all the conditions of the fellowship continue to be met. The maximum duration is six years, in which case the overall value (stipend, tuition, fees, summer salary for two summers) of an NPSC fellowship typically well exceeds $200,000."
Applicants should be in one of the following categories: be in your senior year with at least a 3.2/4.0 GPA (Sandia requirement); be in your first year of a graduate program pursuing a Ph.D.; be in a terminal master's program (your university offers no Ph.D. in your discipline); be returning from the workforce with no more than a master's degree; be near the point of beginning your dissertation research. http://www.NPSC.ORG/
