The DOE Scholars Program is a Department-wide program designed to create a pipeline of highly qualified talent in disciplinary fields that support mission critical areas of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE Scholars Program provides opportunities designed to introduce DOE missions, functions, and operations to talented undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates. These opportunities will help prepare Scholars towards the full range of entry and mid-level research, technical and professional positions within DOE and other organizations that support the DOE mission.
As a result, you will:
- Gain insight and experience on DOE’s mission, culture and operations.
- Showcase your education, talent and skills while contributing to the DOE’s mission and operations.
- Enhance your preparedness for scientific, technological and policy related-careers.
- Become part of a skilled workforce for the future that will benefit both the DOE and the overall global competitiveness of the nation.
Opportunities may be available at DOE Headquarters, DOE Field Offices, and other participating DOE sites. Available appointments vary with DOE office/facility needs.
