Oak
Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) wants to pinpoint and capture some of the best
new minds entering scientific and engineering fields today, by using a unique
competitive process. Students who are interested in grand challenge science and
want to make a difference in the world are encouraged to apply to the ORNL
Challenge Program!
ORNL’s
two grand research Challenges for 2016 focus on “Simulation and Design of
Artificial Model Magnets” and “Distributed Energy Research – Powering
Microgrids.” To apply for the ORNL Challenge Program, applicants must write a
proposal that identifies possible solutions to one of these two research
Challenges. If the student’s proposal is chosen as one of the top choices, the
applicant will be offered a summer 2016 internship at ORNL, to implement their
research solution. A competitive stipend, housing, and professional development
activities will be included as part of the internship.
Applicants
must be junior or senior undergraduate students currently enrolled at an
accredited U.S. college or university. There are no citizenship requirements or
GPA requirements to apply.
