Opportunities

Each year, Bettis hires approximately 20 students for its summer intern program. Laboratory internships offer students a unique opportunity to participate in the important work done at Bettis and a chance to work with some of the finest technical people in the country.

Candidates for internship positions should be undergraduate (completed sophomore year) and graduate students majoring in metallurgical, electrical, mechanical, chemical, civil, or nuclear engineering. Students majoring in computer science, material science, numerical analysis, chemistry, physics, mathematics, welding engineering, and environmental science will also be considered. Due to the nature of the work done at Bettis, candidates should have a record of high academic achievement (3.2-4.0 GPA).

Interested students need to email a resume, cover letter, and an unofficial copy of their transcript to the Summer Intern Program Coordinator at interns@bettis.gov. Emails that do not include all three requested items (resume, cover letter, and an unofficial transcript) will not be accepted. All emails must be received by 4:00 PM EST on Friday, October 13, 2006.

Interviews are conducted in late November and early December. Internships have flexible beginning and ending dates, but interns usually work from May/June through August/September.

Questions regarding the summer intern program can be sent to the Program Coordinator.
