Oak Ridge National Laboratory is suspending all new internship appointments, effective immediately, due to health and safety concerns over the COVID-19 outbreak. This includes the Lab’s summer 2020 programs.
There is a small chance that the suspension of new internship appointments could be lifted if circumstances change, but for now this move will help minimize the risk to visiting students and to the Laboratory.

The Pathways to Computing Internship Program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a 10-week summer program that provides undergraduate students with learning opportunities in computer science, computational science, and mathematics. Students will be mentored by ORNL research and technical staff and will be able to make contributions to projects in diverse domains including computer science, health data science, and climate science. Selected interns will have access to ORNL's leadership-class facilities, including Summit, the world's most powerful supercomputer.
ORNL's Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate oversees an immense store of computing power and its talented staff of computational scientists and mathematicians, conduct state-of-the-art research and development in computer and computational sciences in support of the Department of Energy's missions and programs.
As part of the ORNL Pathways to Computing Internship Program, the Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate is committed to increasing diversity among interns and staff. We believe the teams required to solve the nation’s most pressing science challenges are those that bring together a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. The goal of the program is to improve educational and training opportunities and encourage applications from underrepresented groups in the computing field; however, all eligible candidates are encouraged to apply.
Primary focus areas will include:
Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning / Data Science
Astrophysics
Bioinformatics / Computational Biology
Computer Science Research (e.g. compilers, programming models, programming tools)
Cybersecurity
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences / Climate Science
High Performance Computing Operations (e.g. system administration, storage systems, system/user support)
Quantum Computing
Software Engineering
Visualization
Other computer science areas (e.g. CS theory)
Other computational areas (e.g. material science, chemistry
