DOE Office of Science: Spring 2024 Internships

Applications are currently being accepted for the Spring 2024 term of the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program offered by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC). The application deadline is Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

Two informational workshops will be held for SULI. The first workshop will provide an overview of the program’s unique application process and requirements. The second workshop will include a panel discussion featuring SULI alumni.

Through SULI, undergraduate students discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from intern 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 4-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree. The program is stipend-based and offered three times annually in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
