DOE’s Office of Science Is Now Accepting Applications for Spring 2026 Undergraduate Internships

by

Students will conduct scientific and technical projects at national laboratories

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is now accepting applications for the Spring 2026 term for two undergraduate internship programs: the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program. The application deadline is October 1, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students and recent graduates delve into science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories. They gain new knowledge, skills, and professional experience to further their educational and career goals. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists, engineers, and technical professionals. They assist these experts with science or technology projects that support the DOE mission, including new frontiers in artificial intelligence, quantum, nuclear energy and technology, critical minerals and materials, and fusion science and engineering.

SULI is open to full-time undergraduate students attending 4-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree or associate degree. CCI is dedicated to supporting 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, including 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 office hours. At these times, DOE staff members will answer administrative questions such as those pertaining to uploading transcripts, submitting letters of recommendation, and general inquiries. Office hours are scheduled on September 4th, 11th, 18th, and 24th from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT. Registration (on the CCI and SULI webpages) is required for attendance. SULI and CCI are managed by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in the Office of Science.

Funding Opportunity Announcement: Michael R Anastasio LANL-UC Early Career Faculty Scholar program.

by

Pre-Proposal Deadline: March 3, 2025

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the UC National Laboratories (UCNL) at the University of California (UC), Office of the President (UCOP) are jointly inviting applications for the Michael R Anastasio LANL-UC Early Career Faculty Scholar program. The winning proposal will fund one tenure-track faculty member in the UC system with up to $750k for a 3-year award cycle, planned to commence in October 2025. The technical topic for this call will be in a computational science subject area (details below) centering on overlapping interests between the UC faculty and the Laboratory’s national security programs and mission.
The initiative is intended to develop the next-generation UC academic leadership with strong and enduring Los Alamos National Laboratory connections. This 3-year award allows the recipient to develop their innovative ideas, advance their research, gain tenure, and become recognized for their professional leadership. The award fund is structured to allow faculty to build a research group including undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. The award also provides Laboratory researchers opportunities to collaborate and be more connected to the UC community to enhance its workforce and research objectives. The required annual onsite visit to Los Alamos National Laboratory is intended to strengthen the technical and workforce pipeline connections between UC and the Lab.

IFE-STAR Ecosystem Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities

by

Applications are now open for the 2025 IFE-STAR Summer Research Program, where students can work alongside our nation’s leading scientists and researchers.

Application deadline for summer 2025: February 15, 2025

The IFE-STAR Ecosystem coordinates a national IFE summer research program for undergraduate students enrolled in US universities and colleges. Students who are accepted into this program will have opportunities to do IFE summer research at partnering organizations and universities across the nation. Applications will be shared with the research institutions based on the student’s selected interest within the application. Each institution will independently reach out to selected applicants as they fill their summer research openings. Financial support is available through each institution.

Consortium with Minority Serving Institutions Delivers Opportunities for Students

by

The Consortium for High Energy Density Science (CfHEDS) had much to celebrate at its annual meeting this summer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

“It was exciting to connect with our academic partners and their students,” said Federica Coppari, the LLNL liaison to CfHEDS. “The best part is hearing from the students about their research experience.”

The goal of CfHEDS is to expand and diversify the pipeline of students in high-energy-density science (HEDS), a field critical to much of the work done at LLNL. In 2018, CfHEDS was launched with a grant from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)’s Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP), which has been renewed through 2027.

Signal And Image Science Community Comes Together for Annual Workshop

by

Nearly 150 members of the signal and image science community recently came together to discuss the latest advances in the field and connect with colleagues, friends and potential collaborators at the 28th annual Center for Advanced Image and Signal Science (CASIS) workshop.

Held at the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC) for the first time, the workshop achieved its highest attendance and greatest external participation in years. The event featured more than 50 technical contributions across six workshop tracks…
