The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program encourages undergraduate (2-year and 4-year) students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers by providing real-world scientific and technical research experiences at a Department of Energy (DOE) laboratory.

Program Overview

The SULI program provides interns the opportunity to work under the guidance of scientific and engineering staff on projects that are relevant to the DOE mission of ensuring America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions that includes:

• 10-week internship program during the summer
• Participation in cutting-edge scientific research programs not available in universities or industry
• Access to expert scientists and world-class research facilities
• Receive a weekly stipend of $600
• Chance to present research results verbally and/or in writing
• Work may appear in a contribution to a scientific journal
• Participants living outside a 50-mile radius from the lab will be provided on-site housing and one round trip visit to their listed permanent address

Brookhaven National Laboratory (located in Upton, Long Island, New York) delivers discovery science and transformative technology to power and secure the nation’s future. Primarily supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, Brookhaven Lab is a multidisciplinary laboratory with seven Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, 36 R&D 100 Awards, and more than 70 years of pioneering research.
