Internships and FellowshipsInternships
Interested in pursuing a career in STEM?
Want to take the next step in your STEM education journey?
As an Army STEM intern, you’ll gain first-hand exposure to the cutting-edge research that’s happening in top university labs and U.S. Army Research Laboratories and Centers while earning a stipend. These opportunities will give you a competitive advantage when applying for future career or education opportunities. Work under the mentorship of a professional scientist or engineer, learn about paths in your STEM field of interest, and develop the tools you need to achieve your STEM goals!
Internships are generally full-time, short-term, in-person positions (there are some part-time opportunities that take place during the academic year). Interns must live within reasonable commuting distance of their assigned lab; transportation, meals, and housing are not provided. We have many options throughout the country, and we hope you’ll be able to find an internship that fits your interests and location!
At the end of your internship, you’ll write an abstract that will be published to the Army STEM Research page. This is a great way to learn how to present your research to the public. We also provide you with opportunities to participate in our master classes and Army STEM Summer Speaker Series to help gain additional knowledge and skills. If you’re a High School intern, we encourage you to submit your research to the Junior Science & Humanities Symposium (JSHS).
Internship Benefits
Our goal is to connect students with exceptional paid research positions (through a stipend), and also provide holistic support that can help you start and sustain a stable, satisfying career in STEM.
