Job Description:
What Your Job Will Be Like:
Are you interested in expanding your knowledge of modeling and simulation as a member of a team of scientists and engineers at a DOE national laboratory? We are seeking undergraduate student summer interns in the areas of atomistic materials modeling and high-performance scientific computing as part of the NNSA Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP) Consortium for Nuclear Security Advanced Manufacturing Enhanced by Machine Learning (NSAM-ML). As an intern in Sandia's Center for Computing Research you will address challenges in atomistic materials modeling for engineering materials using our LAMMPS molecular dynamics code. This position provides the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse set of colleagues including researchers from your own field applications specialists and others.
On any given day you may be called on to:
- Engage with Sandia technical staff in the area of atomistic materials modeling
- Design execute and evaluate simulations of materials systems using the LAMMPS molecular dynamics code
- Participate in Sandia's Center for Computing Research Summer Intern Program
Internships are restricted to students at the three NSAM-ML consortium schools: North Carolina Central University Southern University at Baton Rouge and Elizabeth City State University. Join our team of scientists and researchers and make a difference!
Posting Duration:
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.
NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs:
If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED) such as a pacemaker defibrillator drug-releasing pump hearing aids or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring monitoring and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.
If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
Qualifications We Require:
You bring the confidence and skills to be eligible for the job by meeting these minimum requirements:

- 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.
Internships are restricted to students at the three NSAM-ML consortium schools: North Carolina Central University Southern University at Baton Rouge and Elizabeth City State University.
Note: If you have not yet started your undergraduate program please apply to a high school intern position.
Qualifications We Desire:
- Interest in teaming to tackle challenging interdisciplinary R&D problems in support of DOE missions
- Experience in computing for example application of computer simulation software
- Software development and programming experience (for example C++ C Fortran Matlab Java or Python)
- Knowledge of materials science and engineering
- Communication skills appropriate for participating in multi-disciplinary research teams
- A dedication to encouraging an inclusive culture as demonstrated in your application materials

Security Clearance:
This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE) security clearance.
Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references credit law enforcement records and employment/education verifications. Furthermore employees in New Mexico need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use falsification of information criminal activity serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain and maintain one for the position or you bid on positions that require a clearance a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.S. citizens. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e. of the U.S. and another country) your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.
Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who require uncleared access for greater than 179 days during their employment are required to go through the Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) process. Access includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access as well as remote access to any NNSA information technology (IT) systems. UPIV requirements are not applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security clearance for the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign nationals. The UPIV process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment). An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge removal of cyber (logical) access and/or removal from SNL subcontract. All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is unsuccessful the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after the decision date.
