Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship
(SULI)
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has established a national program titled the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI). Under it, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and other labs offer student appointments for spring, summer, and fall terms.
Participants will be associated with members of the scientific and professional staff in an educational program developed to give research experience in areas of chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, nuclear medicine, applied mathematics, high- and low-energy particle accelerators, and science writing.
Applications for the summer of 2009 are closed. All positions have been filled.
At BNL, a SULI summer appointment will include features which have been the mainstay of our undergraduate Summer Student Program since 1952:
- You will participate in a cutting-edge scientific research program, directed by a BNL staff member. The nature of your research assignment will be determined after a review of your background and interests by our staff, relative to their current research activities.
- As a major user facility, BNL attracts visiting scientists and university faculty from across the US and the world. Like them, you will be treated as a colleague in your research group and a full member of the BNL community - able, as time permits, to attend or take part in scientific seminars, visit major BNL facilities, and interact casually with other undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and technical staff, as well as your immediate research group. You may also participate in a wide variety of recreational activities available to Laboratory employees.
- You may have the chance to offer presentations of your research results verbally and/or in writing; your work may appear in a contribution to a scientific journal or BNL report. The goals of SULI at BNL are to offer not only a specific learning experience, but an exposure to the scientific enterprise to support future career developments.
- For all non-local students, dormitory-style single-room (air-conditioned) housing is made available on BNL's 5000 acre site.
