The Idaho National Laboratory offers internships at a variety of levels – undergraduate through post doctoral with valuable work and life experience.
INL internships, like the lab's research, span a wide range of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields and support roles.
INL interns also receive extensive training - like resume' writing and communication strategies - to help improve their "soft skills." In addition, they can attend lectures that feature world-renowned researchers discussing a broad range of energy topics from nuclear non-proliferation to hybrid energy systems.
Interns participate in lab wide tours to enhance their knowledge of INL, its history and missions. The INL site tours include visits to Experimental Breeder Reactor-1, where nuclear fission generated the world's first usable amount of electricity, the Advanced Test Reactor, and a 3D research tool known as a computer assisted virtual environment - or CAVE.
INL Internships Available
