About this position
The URA-Sandia Graduate Student Summer Fellowship Program offers graduate students a hands-on research experience at Sandia National Laboratories, with the main focus on Engineering Science. Fellows are mentored by Sandia technical staff and take part in challenging research and development projects in a national laboratory environment.
The program is part of Sandia’s broader set of research foundations, which span areas such as bioscience, computing and information science, engineering science, earth science, materials science, nanodevices and microsystems, and radiation/electrical/high energy density science. The fellowship is designed to help participants work on advanced STEM problems that support Sandia’s mission and research priorities.
During the summer appointment, fellows gain practical experience designing and carrying out experiments or computational and analytical studies, interpreting data according to Sandia research standards, and developing stronger scientific communication skills through written summaries, lightning talks, and presentations. Participants also join meetings, events, and tours organized through URA and Sandia student and academic programs, creating a broader professional development experience within the laboratory setting.
The fellowship is hosted at Sandia National Laboratories’ primary sites in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or Livermore, California, giving students exposure to a major U.S. national laboratory research environment.
