Opportunities with ORISE Information Session

Are you interested in research? Are you looking for a Summer 2024 internship?

ORISE (Oak Ridge Institute of Science & Education) representatives will be on campus and want to talk to STEM (mostly but not exclusively) students interested in internships/ research! ORISE provides research-based internship opportunities in governmental agencies. These opportunities vary in length, from shorter summer internships to longer 12-month internships. All provide a stipend to participants and, at the discretion of the sponsor, a health insurance supplement, travel, and professional development/training support. ORISE has a whole supports more than 20 federal departments, including the CDC, EPA, FDA, FBI, and NIH. https://orise.orau.gov/.

They have opportunities for all degree levels, from undergraduate through postdoctoral students. There are also opportunities for faculty research.

Note: Many positions require U.S. Citizenship, but not all. Some are offered to non-U.S. Citizens who have lived in the U.S. for 3+ years. Associate Manager Bryan Maner, and Program Specialist, Emily Messersmith, will lead the overview and discussion and show the students/ faculty the system they use to post opportunities. Q & A will follow.
