6. If help is needed for preparation of professional resume and statement, please contact Ms. Orozco and help session can be arranged upon request
UTRGV students in the past have interned at the neutron sources group (Oak Ridge), the manufacturing demonstration facility group (Oak Ridge), and electrochemical fuel cell group (Los Alamos) to name a few research groups. Past and current projects with both laboratories include characterization techniques, machine learning, synthesis of small and large molecules, analytical techniques, programming, etc. However, students interested in other STEM disciplines are encouraged to apply as well. For additional information on research within those National Laboratories, visit their respective websites (ornl.gov and lanl.gov).
Requirements:
US citizen or legal permanent resident
Deadline:
Priority will be given to applications received on and before 1/31/2023, but applications will be accepted until 2/7/2025.
Interview sessions will be held with selected students, and the applications of successful candidates will be moved forward to the National Laboratories for final selection.
