I certify that I am at least 18 years of age and a US citizen, and am currently enrolled as a student in a degree seeking undergraduate or graduate program in a STEM field at an accredited Minority Serving Institution (MSI).

t">Selected candidate will be compensated by either a stipend or salary, and may include one round trip domestic travel to and from the host laboratory. Stipends and salaries will be commensurate with cost of living at the location of the host laboratory. Housing information will be provided to interns prior to arrival at the host laboratory, and will vary from lab to lab.

The Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP) Internships is a new program to promote the education and development of the next generation workforce in critical science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) related disciplines that complement current and future missions of DOE national laboratories. The MSIPP Internship program is designed to provide an enhanced training environment for next generation scientists and engineers by exposing them to research challenges unique to our industry. 

MSIPP Interns will be given the opportunity to complete Summer Internships aligned with ongoing U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) research under the direction of a host national laboratory. The internship will be performed at the host national laboratory, utilizing their facilities and equipment under the guidance of a research staff member.

Minority Serving Institutions are institutions of higher education enrolling populations with significant percentages of undergraduate minority students. 

This research is centered around the following themes:

1. Accelerating watershed science through a community-driven software ecosystem

2. Improving the representations of biogeochemical processes and their hydrological controls in the headwaters and stream/river corridors of watersheds

3. Advancing an ecosystem of interacting software tools and workflows that can be shared across Subsurface and Biological Research projects

4. High performance computing on advanced architectures

5. Modern scientific software engineering and development practices

You will work with a multi-disciplinary team including hydrology, geomorphology, vegetation, infrastructure and ocean modelers, focused on developing multi-physics models for high-resolution simulations using high-performance computational architectures. 

 

Eligible applicants must:

Successful candidates will have:

It is desirable for the candidate to have:

Modern software development experience (e.g., github)
