From our mission to our collaborative culture, NLR stands out in the research community for its commitment to an affordable and secure energy future. Spanning foundational science to applied systems engineering and analysis, we focus on solving complex challenges to deliver advanced, secure, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions. Our work helps strengthen U.S. industries, support job creation, and promote national economic growth.
At NLR, you'll find a mission-driven environment supported by state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary research teams, and strong collaborations with industry, academia, and other national laboratories.

The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) is seeking two student interns to support its collaboration with the Kern Community College District’s California Renewable Energy Laboratory (CREL).
Interns will work with researchers in the Strategic Energy Analysis Center on applied research and educational activities related to carbon management, bio-based products, industrial energy systems, and large energy-load systems. The Strategic Energy Analysis Center (SEAC; www.nlr.gov/analysis) aims to increase understanding of energy policies, markets, resources, technologies, and infrastructure to address U.S. economic, security, and environmental priorities.
The two positions may support different combinations of research analysis, education, and curriculum-development activities. Specific project scopes will be determined in collaboration with the assigned NLR researchers based on project needs and the interns’ backgrounds and interests. Examples of potential work areas include:

The internships will be fully remote, with regular virtual mentoring and team meetings. NLR will provide laptops and the required software and system access for remote work. No laboratory equipment or supplies will be required, as the work will focus on literature review, data analysis, spreadsheet-based analysis, and educational material development rather than laboratory experiments.
An optional visit to the NLR Golden Campus may be offered during the internship, subject to separate project funding, eligibility, scheduling, and NLR visitor requirements.
