Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) Homepage. Announcements SULI Program Overview The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program encourages undergraduate students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as interns appointed at one of 16 participating DOE laboratories. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission. The SULI program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in collaboration with the DOE laboratories. Applications for the SULI program are solicited annually for three separate internship terms. Internship appointments are 10 weeks in duration for the Summer Term (May through August) or 16 weeks in duration for the Fall (August through December) and Spring (January through May) Terms.

Eligibility. Benefits. Participant Obligations. The SULI program is intended to support the intellectual and professional development of students who have the desire to be involved in an intensive scientific research experience. Selected students have the following program obligations: Must have proof of coverage under a health insurance plan for the duration of their internship. It is the responsibility of each participant to secure insurance coverage before arriving at the appointment site. Must complete the full 10- or 16-week program.

Who administers this program for the Department of Energy? The DOE Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) manages this program in collaboration with the DOE National Laboratories who host the student participants. Can I apply if I don't currently have legal permanent resident alien (PRA) status, but I know I will get it before my appointment starts? No, you must have your Permanent Resident Alien status at the time of applying (by the application deadline). I am a Permanent Resident Alien, but my passport from my home country has expired. You are not required to have a valid passport to apply to the SULI program. This program states that it provides opportunities to undergraduate students. The SULI program is for undergraduates.

It would be hard to rival Ames Laboratory senior scientist Mark Gordon’s success rate in attracting Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship students to graduate school. Since the SULI program’s inception at Ames Lab, Gordon has been a program mentor four times. To his great credit, all three of the students he mentored those four years (one of his students participated in SULI twice) are now pursuing PhDs at Iowa State University and are working for him in the Applied Math and Computational Sciences program at Ames Lab.

Anyone aware of Mark Gordon’s love of the New York Yankees would say team Gordon is batting a thousand. “Mark Gordon is a shining star when it comes to getting students to see the importance of going on to graduate school,” says Steve Karsjen, education programs director for the Ames Laboratory. “I think you’d be hard pressed to find many scientists throughout the entire DOE system who could equal Mark’s success rate in this area.”

Second, mentors must be nurturing. SULI - Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship | Ames Laboratory. Welcome to the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program, a premier Department of Energy fall, spring and summer internship designed to bring undergraduates into the laboratory research setting at the Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University to work with scientists who are leaders in their research fields. Students from across the country spend either 16 weeks in the fall and spring semesters or 10 weeks in the summer in our SULI program. Participating SULI students receive a stipend of $500 per week. We provide housing in Iowa State University apartments.

We pay up to $500 for student travel to our site. We focus on your success! Our students receive guidance from PhD scientist/mentors and work in an exciting research environment alongside scientists, post docs and graduate students.
