About this position
The URA-Sandia Graduate Student Summer Fellowship Program offers graduate students a hands-on research experience at Sandia National Laboratories, with this listing focused on Earth Science. Fellows are mentored by Sandia technical staff and take part in challenging research and development projects within a national laboratory environment.
The program is embedded in Sandia’s broader Research Foundations ecosystem and is designed to expose fellows to the latest technologies and novel techniques used in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics research that supports national security missions. Participants may engage in experimental work, computational or analytical studies, and data interpretation following Sandia research standards.
Fellows are included in meetings, events, and tours sponsored by URA and Sandia through student intern and academic programs, creating a professional development-oriented environment alongside other fellows. The experience also emphasizes scientific communication through written summaries, lightning talks, and presentations for technical and non-technical audiences.
Summer fellows are hosted at one of Sandia National Laboratories’ primary sites in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or Livermore, California.
