Intern, R&D Graduate Summer - Computer Science Research Institute; CSRI), Onsite at Sandia Albu

What Your Job Will Be Like

We are seeking summer R&D graduate interns. The Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) seeks several students to participate in collaborative research across a wide range of areas in computer science, applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, mathematical modeling, computational science and engineering, and high-performance computing.

• Possible research areas include quantum computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced computer architectures, systems software, parallel algorithms, programming languages and paradigms, data sciences, materials, combinatorial mathematics, discrete event simulation, scalable solvers, continuous and discrete optimization, uncertainty quantification, statistics, multi-scale methods and mathematics, multi physics modeling, visualization, meshing, advanced modeling and simulation, human decision modeling, and brain inspired computing.
• Apply computational methods to scientific and engineering applications including shock physics, molecular dynamics, magneto hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, electrical systems, and climate security.
• These student internships are for motivated and enthusiastic individuals with excellent communication skills and who have the desire to gain research experience in a highly collaborative research environment.
• Successful applicants will be exposed to a wide range of computational research at Sandia and will have a strong project-based research experience working directly with Sandia staff scientists.

At Sandia, we value the important work done by our interns and its contribution to National Security. Because of this, our interns earn competitive pay rates. Our pay structure is based on earned credit hours, classification, and degree level. Your pay rate will be determined during the hire process and included in your offer package. You can view the Intern Pay Rate chart here.

• Earned bachelor’s degree
• Currently attending and enrolled full time in the spring term immediately preceding the internship (or scheduled to graduate in the spring) in an accredited science, engineering, or math graduate program
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0
• Ability to work up to 40 hours per week during the summer
• U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, asylees or refugees in the U.S.

Note:

If you have not yet started your graduate program, please apply to an undergraduate intern position.

• Majoring in chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, neuroscience, physics, statistics, or a related field
• Communication skills appropriate for participating in multi-disciplinary research teams
• Software development and programming experience (C++, C, Fortran, Matlab, Java, Python)
• Knowledge or the interest to learn parallel programming such as MPI, OpenMP, and/or threads
• Experience with mathematical modeling techniques (e.g., linear and integer programming, statistical modeling, system dynamics modeling)

This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.

The Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) at Sandia creates technology and solutions for many of our nation's most demanding national security challenges. The Institutes' portfolio spans the spectrum from fundamental research to state-of-the-art applications. Our work includes computer system architecture (both hardware and software); enabling technology for modeling physical and engineering systems; and support research in discrete mathematics, data analytics, and decision support.

The CSRI enterprise is closely tied to the laboratories' broader set of missions and strategies. Application areas include nuclear weapons, climate security, alternative energy technologies, and improvements to the power grid. We also serve as stewards of important capabilities for the nation in high-strain‑rate physics, scientific visualization, mesh generation, and computational materials. We maintain world‑class research programs in computational and…
