INL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

INL hires hundreds of students from universities around the country and the world each year to work at the lab under the guidance of skilled and talented mentors. These internships enable students to collaborate with experienced scientists and engineers in order to develop innovative solutions to challenging, real-world projects. Internships support INL’s three mission areas of nuclear energy, energy and environment, and national and homeland security.

The majority of INL internships are in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, such as nuclear engineering, chemistry, computer science and physics. However, INL also offers internships in fields such as business, marketing, communications and logistics. An INL internship builds confidence, introduces students to possible career fields, and complements what they are studying in school.

The Experience

INL strives to make the internship experience as valuable as possible. Internships are structured based on an 80/20 philosophy. INL encourages interns to spend 80 percent of their time at the lab with their mentor and apply their classroom knowledge to real-life work, and to spend 20 percent of their time in enrichment activities like workshops or skill-building activities. Come find out why Vault ranked INL as one of the Best Energy Internships and Goodcall ranked Idaho Falls as one of the Best U.S. Cities for a Summer Internship.

INL internships include a nationally competitive wage that is based on the number of credits completed, combined with the degree program. Eligible interns are provided holiday pay, and many of our internships offer travel reimbursements along with a generous housing stipend.
