The Program
For students majoring in Computational Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and related science and engineering fields, Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences hosts a 12-week research summer program that provides students with the opportunity to gain research experience. Participants will work on computational research projects under the guidance of one or more staff members. Berkeley Lab, located in Berkeley, CA is a world leader in computing, biological, physical, materials, chemical, and energy sciences research. In summers past, students at the Lab have worked in such project areas as:
- secure peer-to-peer information sharing
- analysis and solution of network and system-related software problems
- web-based clients for remote visualization
- numerical algorithms for nanoscience
- parallel scientific code templates
- system administration and programming graphical user interface for generating authorization policy for an information sharing system
- scientific computing tools
Projects are designed so that students will complete a major portion of the work during the 12-week period. This program is geared toward students between their junior and senior years who have completed core courses in Computer Science, Mathematics, and related areas of study or graduate students in any computer and computational science discipline. The exact starting date is at the mutual convenience of the students and the needs of the program.
Compensation
The hourly wage ranges from $10.91 to $15.59 for undergraduate students and from $16.00 to $28.30 for graduate students, depending upon years of education completed. Applicants are responsible for housing and travel expenses.
