Description

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)  is a world-class research institution powered by a highly educated,  diverse workforce committed to the values of Integrity,  Creativity,  Collaboration,  Impact,  and Courage.  Every year,  scores of dynamic,  driven people come to PNNL to work with renowned researchers on meaningful science,  innovations and outcomes for the U.S.  Department of Energy and other sponsors;  here is your chance to be one of them!
 

At PNNL,  you will find an exciting research environment and excellent benefits including health insurance,  flexible work schedules and telework options.  PNNL is located in eastern Washington State—the dry side of Washington known for its stellar outdoor recreation and affordable cost of living.  The Lab’s campus is only a 45-minute flight (or ~3 hour drive)  from Seattle or Portland,  and is serviced by the convenient PSC airport,  connected to 8 major hubs.

 

The Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate (EBSD)  leads novel and necessary research in three core areas:  Atmospheric and Climate Sciences,  Biological Sciences,  and Environmental Molecular Sciences.  The contributions of EBSD staff are many as we continue to elevate the impact of PNNL’s science mission:  to understand,  predict,  and control the complex adaptive systems underlying the science behind Earth,  energy,  and security.

Responsibilities

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)  is seeking ambitious,  high caliber sophomore,  junior or senior high school students for intern assignments within the Student Research Apprenticeship Program (SRAP).  This summer internship is a research-based experience for students who are sophomore,  juniors or seniors and/or students traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering.

 

This project will involve analyzing the spatial patterns of soil respiration (Rs,  the soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flux)  measured in TEMPEST experimental plots at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.  The Student Intern will learn about the biology and biogeochemistry factors at play,  be introduced to the R statistical software system,  and be responsible for analyzing spatial dynamics using data collected from 2019 to 2022 in this temperate forest.

 

****BEFORE YOU APPLY****

When asked to upload your resume to your application,  you need to upload one (1)  PDF file that includes the following:

 

1.  Cover Letter

2.  Resume

3.  Unofficial transcript

4.  Personal Statement:  Describe who you are beyond your academic achievements and potential.  Offer information in regards to what kind of activities,  leadership or experiences you’ve had that contributed toward your interest in STEM.

 

APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT INCLUDE THE ITEMS ABOVE IN THEIR SINGLE PDF UPLOAD WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AS INCOMPLETE.
