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 15 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. Each DOE laboratory offers different research opportunities; not all DOE laboratories offer internships during the Fall and Spring Terms.

URI internship expectations:

Summer term:  180 hours; 10-12 weeks, 15-18 hours/week

Most internships are unpaid; paid internships contingent upon funding-  Academic credit may be applicable; see your academic advisor or internship office.

For priority consideration, apply before April 1.

The Summer Urological Research Experience (SURE), is a great opportunity for students to move beyond the classroom learning experience to gather the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a career founded in the biomedical sciences.  SURE is designed to provide a one of a kind research experience to students in the hope to foster an interest in students in the areas of urological and cancer research. 

The James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute provides a unique opportunity for young scientists to work alongside some of the leading researchers in urology and oncology while utilizing a broad range of techniques and methodologies. The Department has the unique ability of providing young researchers with a chance to see how research done at the bench can be translated into patient care.

In addition to the vast amount of research experience that will be gained during the 10 week program, students will be given numerous opportunities to attend lectures and seminars given by the University's and the  Department's numerous gifted faculty that will prepare them for the paradigms, problems, and technologies in biomedical research.
