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 Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate (PCSD)  researchers lead major R&D efforts in experimental and theoretical interfacial chemistry,  chemical analysis,  high energy physics,  interfacial catalysis,  multifunctional materials,  and integrated high-performance and data-intensive computing.

 

PCSD is PNNL’s primary steward for research supported by the Department of Energy’s Offices of Basic Energy Sciences,  Advanced Scientific Computing Research,  and Nuclear Physics,  all within the Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

 

Additionally,  Directorate staff perform research and development for private industry and other government agencies,  such as the Department of Defense and NASA.  The Directorate’s researchers are members of interdisciplinary teams tackling challenges of national importance that cut across all missions of the Department of Energy.

Responsibilities

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)  is seeking ambitious,  high-caliber junior or senior high school students for intern assignment within the High School Student Research Intern (HS SRI)  Program.  This internship provides an opportunity for students interested in preparing for careers in science,  technology,  engineering or mathematics (STEM -  or Computer Science)  to work during the academic year with a scientist/mentor in a specified research area.  Students attend regular classes in their school for one-half day.

 

The student will assist with computer programming,  coding and coding related tasks,  and help develop and maintain tools in support of the ARM data system.
