Department of Energy (DOE) Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI)

Nature of Research/Program Description: 

The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program encourages undergraduate students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as interns appointed at one of 16 participating DOE laboratories. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission.

Applications for the SULI program are solicited annually for three separate internship terms. Internship appointments are 10 weeks in duration for the Summer Term (May through August) or 16 weeks in duration for the Fall (August through December) and Spring (January through May) Terms. Each DOE laboratory offers different research opportunities; not all DOE laboratories offer internships during the Fall and Spring Terms.

Additional DOE internships can be found at Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates to Federal Careers and the DOE's Stipend-based Internships page. You should also check at individual National Laboratories for site specific opportunities (often listed at Internship and Fellowship Opportuities in Science).
