2015 Summer Internships - Office of Science / Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS)
The Office of Science / Office of
Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) is pleased to
announce that it is accepting applications to its 2015 Summer Term
internship/fellowship programs. These programs, which offer
opportunities for direct engagement in scientific research and
technology featuring specialized instrumentation; large-scale,
multidisciplinary efforts; and/or scientific user facilities, are
available for undergraduate students enrolled at community colleges
and/or four-year institutions, and for visiting faculty. Selected
students or faculty participate at one of 17 DOE
Laboratories/Facilities, receive stipends, and may qualify for travel
and housing assistance.
Applications
for these competitive programs must be completed and submitted online
by 5:00 PM ET on January 9, 2015 (including all required application
materials and recommendations). The 2015 Summer Term placements are for
10 weeks duration in a May to August timeframe.
The three programs accepting applications are:
·The
Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program encourages
undergraduate students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences, under the
guidance of laboratory/facility staff scientists or engineers, on
projects supporting the DOE mission. More information about SULI and
access to the online application is at http://science.energy.gov/wdts/suli/.
·The
Community College Internship (CCI) program encourages community college
students to enter technical careers relevant to the DOE mission by
providing technical training experiences at the DOE Labs. Students work
on technologies or instrumentation projects or major research
facilities related to ongoing R&D programs. More information about
CCI and access to the online application is at http://science.energy.gov/wdts/cci/.
·The
Visiting Faculty Program (VFP) seeks to increase the research
competitiveness of faculty members and their students at institutions
historically underrepresented in the research community in order to
expand the workforce vital to the DOE mission areas. In this program,
selected university/college faculty members collaborate with DOE
laboratory research staff on a research project of mutual interest.
Faculty member participants may invite up to two students (one of which
may be a graduate student) to participate in the research project.
Applicants establish their collaborations with laboratory research staff
in advance of applying and must submit a co-developed research proposal
as part of the application. Students apply separately at the invitation
of the faculty member. More information about the VFP and access to the
online application is at http://science.energy.gov/wdts/vfp/.
The
SULI, CCI and VFP programs are sponsored and managed by the DOE Office
of Science / Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and
Scientists. The Department of Energy's Office of Science is the single
largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the
United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing
challenges of our time.

Winter Course: Making Your Science Relevant ENVIR 500
*Making Your Science Relevant*ENVIR 500A | Winter 2015
Tu/Th 1:30-2:50pm
3 credits C/NC
The course is designed to train scientists with practical skills to ensure their work has impact, e.g. informing policy decisions or securing funding for much-needed research.
To make this course as valuable and relevant as possible, students will draw on their own research for coursework/projects. Students will learn specific tools and techniques to better communicate their own science, as opposed to science communication in general.
This is a hands‐on course for upper‐level graduate students to learn to develop clear messages about their complex scientific research, insights into working with journalists, and strategies for using online media effectively.
*Instructor Heather Galindo (COMPASS Assistant Director of Science) draws on more than ten years of COMPASS experience in designing and leading communication trainings for scientists around the country, including the prestigious Leopold Leadership Program. For more information or questions about the class, email hgalindo@COMPASSonline.org
