| Description: | Students work with scientists or engineers on projects related to the laboratories' research programs. The different laboratories each offer different research opportunities.
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, NY, placed the most, 81, SULI students in 2008. The home of four Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, Brookhaven is a major multidisciplinary laboratory that carries out basic and applied world-class research in physical, biomedical and environmental sciences, as well as energy technologies.
Brookhaven sponsors programs for students and faculty in physics, biology, chemistry, medical science, environmental science, and many other areas. Educational placements range from working with physicists to probe the nature of matter at Brookhaven's newest accelerator, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, to investigating the structure of proteins with biologists at the National Synchrotron Light Source.
Other labs include: Argonne National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
Some sites have housing already arranged; at others you need to arrange it yourself (these sites generally provide information to help you.). The program generally provides either a housing allowance or pre-arranged housing. |
