About this position
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program is a 10-week summer research internship for undergraduate and master’s students in STEM fields. Fellows complete a mission-focused research project at one of several possible DOE sites, including DOE Headquarters and national laboratories such as Idaho National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, and the National Laboratory of the Rockies.
Participants work under the mentorship of scientists, engineers, and staff in support of the DOE Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office mission. The research experience is designed to strengthen the pipeline of future STEM professionals and gives students the opportunity to present their findings at the MLEF Technical Forum at the end of the program.
The program is oriented around applied energy research in a federal laboratory environment, with placements determined by student qualifications and the needs of the appointment site. Students can expect a structured summer research experience connected to DOE’s mission in hydrocarbon and geothermal energy.
The fellowship is intended for students seeking hands-on research experience in an energy-focused national laboratory setting.
