Undergraduate Research Opportunities
We have listed here some of the opportunities from Berkeley Lab staff scientists who have indicated a specific interest in working with a student intern in the upcoming semesters and summers. Opportunities for undergraduate research are not limited to those listed below.
If you are interested in one of these undergraduate internships, you may contact the mentor by the method(s) indicated. However, application to the programs MUST be made through the application process. (This is NOT a listing of LBNL employment opportunities)
You should definitely "browse around" the Laboratory's main web site, and check out what research is being conducted in the Divisions (or go directly to the "Scientific Programs page". Very often there are opportunities for undergraduate research that may not be listed here.
Email is probably the best, most efficient, method for contacting prospective mentors
Postal mail sent to the Berkeley Lab should be addressed:
[Person's Name]
E. O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
[Laboratory Division]
Mail Stop: ____
Berkeley, CA 94720
Please keep in mind that contacting the mentor does not assure your acceptance into the program. You must apply directly to the program, not to the researcher. (Information on applying to undergraduate research fellowship programs can be found on the CSEE College & University web page.
There are a limited number of fellowships available and selections will be made, in part, to fulfill programmatic goals, including assuring representation across academic and scientific disciplines and maximizing resources.
The contents are compiled by Laboratory Division. They are also indexed (on the right) by academic major.
