About this position
The URA-Sandia Graduate Student Summer Fellowship Program is a summer research appointment at Sandia National Laboratories, organized through the Universities Research Association and ORISE. This opening is primarily focused on Bioscience, while also sitting within Sandia’s broader Research Foundations framework in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Selected fellows will work with Sandia National Laboratories technical staff in a national laboratory research and development environment. The fellowship emphasizes hands-on exposure to bioscience-related work alongside professional development activities supported by URA and Sandia, including meetings, events, and tours through student intern and academic programs.
Fellows will gain experience designing and carrying out experiments or computational and analytical studies, interpreting data according to Sandia research standards, and contributing to work that supports national security missions. The program also highlights scientific communication, with opportunities to prepare written summaries, give lightning talks, and present research outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences.
The appointment takes place at one of Sandia National Laboratories’ primary sites in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or Livermore, California. The program is connected to Sandia’s investment in multiple research foundations, but this specific fellowship is centered on Bioscience.
This is a research-focused summer fellowship within Sandia’s national laboratory environment, centered on bioscience and broader STEM research foundations.
