Summer Internships in Parallel Computational Science at NCAR--
The SIParCS Program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) offers graduate students and undergraduate students (who have completed their sophomore year by summer 2009) significant hands-on Research and Development opportunities in high performance computing (HPC) and related fields that use HPC for scientific discovery and modeling. This program embeds students as summer interns in the Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL), an organization within NCAR charged with provisioning supercomputing and data systems to the geosciences research community, as well as conducting research and development in computational science, data analysis, scientific visualization and numerical modeling.
The program is aimed at university students who are interested in pursuing a career in computational science, applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, or the computational geosciences. SIParCS goal is to make a long-term, positive impact on the quality and diversity of the workforce needed to use and operate 21s t century supercomputers. To this end, the SIParCS program can offer exceptional students a wide variety of experiences with a diverse collection of HPC equipment, software development projects, parallel computational science problems, and analysis of data and numerical methods. All these projects are tied to the HPC systems and activities that support NCAR's scientific mission.

DOE Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships at Oak Ridge National Laboratory--
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Internships -- The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) hosts 300 to 400 undergraduate and graduate students and some faculty every summer in support of its world-class scientific facilities and staff and in an effort to help train the nation's next generation of scientists and engineers.
Involvement in world-class research provides participants with a set of experiences that support their education and career goals. Typically, participants gain hands-on experience and the opportunity to apply learned theory to real life problems. An experience of this type, and with these resources at a premier state-of-the-art research laboratory is not available in an academic research lab.

Los Alamos National Laboratory Internship Opportunity -- Project: Engineering Data Processing and Analysis
The student will review available data on material properties and pedigree information for materials of interest to our group. The student will be responsible for documenting the information in an on-line database. If the basic properties and pedigree information work is completed ahead of schedule, then the student will look at fitting various material models to test data and documenting those fits both in the on-line database and in short reports.
Eligibility for Students:
Major(s): Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or Material Science.
Sandia National Laboratories Internships and Student Programs -- Various available internships including undergraduate, graduate, and summer internships, along with three, six, and 12 month Cooperative Education Programs.
Eligibility and General Information for each category:
Area of study must be in a science, math, engineering, technology, CIS/MIS, or a business discipline.
The TeraGrid Pathways Program -- The TeraGrid Pathways Program is dedicated to improving the utilization of high performance computing resources among researchers from traditionally under-served groups. The Program will provide support and resources to allow researchers to engage in TeraGrid immersion, thus allowing Pathways fellows to develop their expertise in science and high performance computing research.
Blue Waters Call for Undergraduate Student Applications for Internships -- The NCSA Blue Waters project, in collaboration with the National Computational Science Institute (NCSI) and national HPC programs, is launching a coordinated effort to prepare current and future generations of students with the computational thinking skills, knowledge and commitment to advance scientific computing through the use of high performance computing (HPC) resources and environments.
Petascale computing is more complex than previous computing paradigms. New approaches for teaching and learning are required, and no single educational institution has the expertise and experience needed to fully exploit this extraordinary capability.
Preparation for petascale computing requires solid grounding in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), HPC and HPC-related curricula. As a community, we must address the engagement of a larger and more diverse workforce to broaden participation and to ensure that CSE education keeps pace with the evolution of science and technology. We will leverage faculty expertise to establish best practices, identify and fill gaps, and modernize the CSE curriculum across all science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
The goal is to engage undergraduate students in petascale computing research and education projects. Students selected through an application process will be provided with a full-year internship that includes summer and academic year support totaling $5,000. The students will become members of a petascale research group. The students will work within a research or education team, and will be provided multiple opportunities to interact with all of the other students during their internships. The students will also be asked to attend an SC Education Program to report on their research experience.
Students must be enrolled in an undergraduate institution. Students at all undergraduate institutions, as described above, are encouraged to apply. Under-represented students are strongly encouraged to apply.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory: The Wigner Fellowship -- Oak Ridge National Laboratory seeks applicants for its most prestigious Eugene P. Wigner Fellowship Program, established in 1975 to honor the Nobel Laureate (1963) and first Director of Research and Development at ORNL (1946-47).
The Wigner Fellowship provides an opportunity for outstanding new life, physical, computer, computational, and social scientists and engineers and applied scientists from around the world. It enables them to select and pursue fundamental or applied research in areas of global interest. It also offers competitive salary and benefits.
