Los Alamos National Laboratory Summer Internships Application Deadline
Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to explore summer research/internship/school opportunities available at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Los Alamos is America's premier government research laboratory and focuses on a wide array of problems that the nation faces.
The Information Science & Technology Institute's (ISTI) summer program for students address emerging challenges in national security. There are a number of opportunities to consider:
Parallel Computing Research Internship
The Parallel Computing Summer Research Internship is an intense 10 week program aimed at providing students with a solid foundation in modern high performance computing (HPC) topics integrated with research on real problems encountered in large-scale scientific codes. Students will collaborate in teams to identify and investigate different computational problems and implement solutions with guidance from mentors with scientific and computational expertise.
Target Student: Upper-level undergraduate and early graduate students

Supercomputer Institute is a 10 week summer school program program that teaches the basics of high performance computing system administration. Students work in small project teams to execute real-world projects on computer clusters that they have assembled and configured. A university instructor provides class instruction. Subject matter experts from Los Alamos National Laboratory mentor the team projects that are presented at a technical symposium at the conclusion of the Summer Institute. Curriculum includes guest lectures and tours of the Laboratory computing & science facilities.
Target Student: Upper-level undergraduate and early graduate students
Codesign School
The Codesign School recruits 6-8 graduate students from varying backgrounds (usually computer science, computational physics, and mathematics) to work on a computational codesign topic, such as novel programming models, on a specific application, such as hydrodynamics. The work usually results in research papers and posters.
Target Student: Upper-level graduate students
The Data Science School studies topics in data science as relevant to the Los Alamos National Laboratory mission. A key focus is on visualization and data analysis. Each student is assigned an individual project and a mentor. Students attend lectures.
Target Student: Upper-level undergraduate and graduate students
The Cyber Summer School prepares students for careers in cyber security. The school has two tracks: incident response where students will learn the necessary concepts and skills for responding effectively to cyber security incidents, and cyber research where students will apply their skills to develop innovative solutions to help address national cyber threats.
Target Student: Upper-level undergraduate and graduate students
Applied Machine Learning Research Internship
The Applied Machine Learning Research Internship is an intense 10-week program is aimed at providing students with a solid foundation in modern machine learning (ML) topics combined with research on real problems encountered in national laboratory missions.
Target Student: Graduate students
The Quantum Computing School is a 10-week school focused on the theory, applications, and hands-on programming of quantum computers. In the first 2 weeks, students will attend lectures given by world-leading experts – from both academia and industry – in quantum computing research. In the following 8 weeks, each student will be paired with a mentor to work on a cutting-edge research project in quantum computing. Throughout the 10 weeks, students will have the unique opportunity to program on actual quantum computers.
Target Student: Upper-level undergraduate and early graduate students
Computational Physics Workshop
The Computational Physics Workshop seeks to bring to Los Alamos National Laboratory a diverse group of exceptional undergraduate and graduate students for informative, enriching lectures and to work with its staff for 10 weeks on interesting, relevant projects that may culminate in articles or conference presentations. Students are organized into groups of 2-3 working under the guidance of one or more mentors.
