Join one of the Nation's leading multidisciplinary science and technology programs for a ten-week laboratory internship at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL-DC). This comprehensive, multi-component program offers students the opportunity to conduct state of the art research relevant to the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Navy (DoN) and the NRL. Internships are awarded competitively to students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate training in science, mathematics, or engineering.
The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWCIAS) works jointly with the NRL HBCU/MI Program Director to co-administer the internship programs on-line database and application process. Please refer to the TWC website and point-of-contact (POC) for more detailed information.
