Georgetown University-Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (GU-LLNL) Internship
The Georgetown University – Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (GU-LLNL) Internship is intended to provide an outstanding research experience for graduate students who wish to expand their skills at one of the premiere national laboratories in the nation. These 10-12 week internships for summer 2024 may be virtual or in-person, depending on the needs of the individual lab and the public health situation at that time.
Located in the San Francisco Bay area and with a scientific staff of more than 8,000, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a global leader in many scientific fields including high performance computing, engineering, applied genomics, biotechnology, and photon science. Due to its size and breadth of research areas, LLNL provides a unique opportunity for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research for our students not easily found elsewhere.
The internship is open to graduate students at the Medical Center demonstrating academic excellence. The internship provides a stipend whether in-person or virtual for living expenses (ie. travel, housing, meals, ground transportation) for all intern recipients.
Application Information:
Who is eligible?
- If you are a graduate student at Georgetown University and will be matriculated over the summer of 2024, you are eligible to apply for this internship. Thus, if you are in a 10-month program that began in the fall and you will graduate in May, you will not be able to participate.
- International students are eligible to participate with some exceptions. If you are an international student here on a student visa, please contact the Office of Global Services as soon as possible so that they can help you determine your eligibility.
- If you opt to participate in a virtual internship, you must reside in the United States for the duration of that virtual internship.
- Internships are competitive and opportunities are limited even for qualified individuals.
If you are unsure whether a GU-LLNL internship is for you, please note that a number of graduate programs at GUMC align well with research programs at LLNL.
