Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Opportunities for undergraduate research are not limited to those listed below. We have listed here the "openings" from some of the Berkeley Lab staff scientists who have indicated a specific interest in working with a student in the upcoming summer and semesters. If you are interested in one of these undergraduate fellowship positions, you may contact the mentor by the method(s) indicated. However, application to the programs MUST be made through the application process. (This is NOT a listing of LBNL employment opportunities)

You should definitely "browse around" the Labortory's main web site, and check out what research is being conducted in the Divisions. Very often there are opportunities for undergradutae research that may not be listed here.
Email is probably the best, most efficient, method for contacting prospective mentors Postal mail sent to the Berkeley Lab should be addressed:

Please keep in mind that contacting the mentor does not assure your acceptance into the program. You must apply directly to the program, not to the researcher. (Information on applying to undergraduate research fellowship programs can be found on the CSEE College & University web page.

There are a limited number of fellowships available and selections will be made, in part, to fulfill programmatic goals, including assuring representation across academic and scientific disciplines and maximizing resources.

The contents are compiled by Laboratory Division. They are also indexted (on the right) by academic major.
