DOE's Office of Science is Accepting Applications for Fall 2025 Undergraduate Internships




DOE’s Office of Science Is Now Accepting Applications for Fall 2025 Undergraduate Internships

Students Will Conduct Research and Technical Projects at National Laboratories 

Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall 2025 term of two undergraduate internship programs offered by the 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 May 21, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. 

Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students and recent graduates discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain new knowledge, skills, and experience to further their educational and career goals. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists, engineers, and technical professionals, assisting them on research or technical projects that support the DOE mission. SULI is open to full-time students attending either 2-or 4-year colleges and universities or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree or associate degree, while CCI is exclusively for community college students. Both programs are stipend-based and offered three times annually in fall, spring, and summer terms. 

Two workshops are planned to introduce each program and share the application process and strategies for submitting a compliant application.  

In addition to the workshops, the program office invites applicants and letter of recommendation writers to attend SULI and CCI Office Hours to answer administrative questions such as those pertaining to uploading transcripts, submitting letters of recommendation, and general inquiries.  Office hours are scheduled on April 30, May 7, and May 14 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT. Registration (register here) is required for attendance.

SULI and CCI programs are managed by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in the Office of Science. More information can be found at https://science.osti.gov/wdts.

    Non-profit Collaboration Opportunity -- Survey Redesign

     Hello Statistics Students,

    We’re looking for two upper-level students — one in technical and professional communication and one in statistics — to collaborate on a project with 5Cities Homeless Coalition. The goal is to improve user experiences by researching, writing, designing, and iterating on a user survey.
    Through this project, students will work with the 5Cities Homeless Coalition team to:
    • Use a UX process to connect user needs with organizational goals
    • Develop and refine survey features based on user testing
    • Write survey language that is clear and effective
    • Collect user feedback to improve the survey over time
    Most of the work will be remote, but students should be available for occasional on-site visits to conduct usability testing and collect data. This is a great opportunity to apply UX research, communication, and data analysis skills to a real-world project with a direct community impact.
    Timeline: Spring 2025 quarter
    C​redit: We can offer 1-2 Stat 400 credit hours for credit/compensation for your work, with the potential for extended work
    Statistics student qualifications: Stat 421, strongly preferred
    Interested?
    Statistics students should apply by providing their resume and a brief statement of interest by filling out the form at https://forms.office.com/r/gjmWwy04VL by Tuesday, March 4th. Applicants may be invited to interview for the position.
    Please contact Dr. Emily Robinson at erobin17@calpoly.edu with any questions.

    Best,
    Dr. Robinson (Statistics) and Dr. Sarraf (Technical & Professional Communications)
