Internship Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy Science Internship Undergraduate and graduate students earn practical research experience by working with mentors on projects in geoscience and atmospheric science. Our key areas of research include seismology, geophysics, geomechanics, geochemistry, atmospheric dispersion, climate modeling and model intercomparison, climate change detection and attribution, and the hydrological and carbon cycles.	Undergraduate Graduate
Internship Data Science Summer Institute (DSSI) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is offering data science graduate students and advanced undergraduate students like you the opportunity to join the Data Science Summer Institute (DSSI). Our interns get to work on real problems that really matter to our country. This is a flexible summer internship program that runs for 12 weeks. As a DSSI intern, you'll apply your ideas, passion, and the skills you've acquired in machine learning, statistics, and high-performance computing to projects in areas of national importance. The Lab's next generation of science and engineering advancements are being applied to achieve breakthroughs for counterterrorism and nonproliferation, defense and intelligence, and energy and environmental security. Actively pursuing a degree in applied mathematics, computer science, computer vision, machine learning, statistics, or a similar field.	Undergraduate Graduate Summer 12 weeks
Fellowship Fernbach Postdoctoral Fellowship The Sidney Fernbach Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Computing Sciences is a highly competitive postdoctoral position that is awarded to candidates with exceptional talent, scientific track records, and potential for significant achievements in computational mathematics, computer science, data science, and/or scientific computing. To be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must have or will soon receive a Ph.D. in applied/computational mathematics, computer science, data science, or related computational science and engineering disciplines.	Postdoctoral Each appointment will be for one year with possible renewals for up to a total of two years.
Internship HPC Cluster Engineer Academy Livermore Computing invites you to apply to our HPC Cluster Engineer Academy for next summer. Although it doesn’t get much attention in traditional academic coursework, cluster engineering is a main focus of HPC centers around the world. HPC Cluster Engineer Academy is a 9-week paid internship that will give you direct experience with running and maintaining high performance computing (HPC) systems.	Undergraduate 9 Weeks
Fellowship Lawrence Fellowship The Lawrence Fellowship is a highly competitive postdoctoral position at LLNL that is open to all technical disciplines. Fellowships are awarded to candidates with exceptional talent, scientific track records, and potential for significant achievements. Fellows are free to pursue their own independent research agenda within an environment of subject matter experts who provide guidance and mentorship. Applicants must either be in the process of completing their Ph.D. (within one year and employment may not start until Ph.D. requirements have been verified) or have received their Ph.D. prior to being hired as a Lawrence Fellow.
