Department of Energy Fellowships

The Department of Energy has several opportunities for internships and fellowships.  If you qualify for one of the programs listed below and are interested in working in my laboratory please contact me.

  • Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI).  This program offers a 10-16 week internship for Spring, Summer or Fall.
  • Community College Institute Internships (CCI). This program offers a 10 week summer internship.

Brookhaven National Laboratory Fellowships and Programs

  • Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP). This program offers masters and Ph.D. students on site accommodation at BNL to foster research relations between BNL and their home institution.
  • BNL High School Research Program (HSRP).  This program offers 11th and 12th grade students aged 16 or over a 6 week summer internship.
