Intern, R&D Undergraduate Summer - Computer Science Research Institute; CSRI), CA, Hybrid

The Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) seeks several students (job title: summer R&D undergraduate intern) to participate in collaborative research across a wide range of areas in computer science, applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, mathematical modeling, artificial intelligence, computational science and engineering, and high-performance computing. Possible research areas include quantum computing, advanced computer architectures, systems software, parallel algorithms, programming languages and paradigms, machine learning, data sciences, inverse methods, topology and shape optimization, computational geometry, materials, combinatorial mathematics, discrete event simulation, scalable solvers, continuous and discrete optimization, uncertainty quantification, statistics, multiscale methods and mathematics, Multiphysics modeling, visualization, advanced modeling and simulation, human decision modeling, and brain inspired computing.

Students are also sought with interests in applying computational methods to scientific and engineering applications molecular dynamics, magneto hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, electrical systems, rapid advanced manufacturing, 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 strong project-based research experience working directly with Sandia staff scientists. This opportunity is for Sandia's Livermore, California laboratory.

On any given day, the intern may be involved in activities related to the above research areas. Depending on the intern interests, the work may be more focused on research or software development. Potential activities include:

• Assisting with research and development activities (reviewing existing techniques, seeking new approaches, developing computing solutions)
• Helping to develop algorithms and software for the research area
• Helping to run simulation codes
• Collaboration with Sandia staff involved in the research area
• Assisting with publication of analysis
• Presenting results to the research group

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.

You bring the confidence and skills to be eligible for the job by meeting these minimum requirements:

• Currently attending and enrolled full time in the spring term immediately preceding the internship (or scheduled to graduate in the spring) in an accredited undergraduate program
• Pursuing a science, engineering, or math major
• 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 earned a HS diploma or equivalent, please apply to a high school intern position.

• Majoring in artificial intelligence, 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 three (3) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.
