To boost Alaska’s contribution in technology and innovation advancements in manufacturing, the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) has launched the DOE Alaskan Summer Internship Program.

This program will provide opportunities for students and recent graduates with strong ties to Alaska to collaborate with researchers at the following national laboratories: Idaho National Laboratory, AMES National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.  Successful applicants will be paired with a mentor from one of these laboratories to participate in a project of interest to the laboratory and AMO.

Applications will be reviewed by mentors at the hosting national laboratories. Laboratories will select candidates based on the qualifications of the applicants and the needs of the laboratory. Selections made by the hosting laboratories and the project assignments will be forwarded to AMO for final selection.

The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) within the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is dedicated to improving energy and material efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness of manufacturers across the industrial sector. AMO brings together manufacturers, not-for-profit entities, research organizations, and institutions of higher education to identify challenges; catalyze innovations; and develop cutting edge material, process, and information technologies needed for an efficient and competitive domestic manufacturing sector.
