LLNL•Livermore, CA

13h•$23 - $32•Onsite

About The Position

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has multiple openings for undergraduate students in its Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Summer Institute (CSI). The program provides opportunities to apply skills to projects related to critical infrastructure security and resilience in support of LLNL’s national security missions, including critical infrastructure risk analysis and security, energy infrastructure modernization and resilience, and defense critical infrastructure. The 2027 program will run during the summer, with start dates ranging from May 17, 2027, to June 21, 2027, and flexible end dates through September 24, 2027. Interns will provide technical and research support to critical infrastructure analysis, modeling and simulation, cybersecurity, and related projects, working with scientists, engineers, and technical staff. Under close supervision, interns may participate in research in areas such as risk and decision analysis, infrastructure and threat modeling, data analysis, open-source research, systems engineering, operations research and optimization, and artificial intelligence and machine learning. The program also includes professional and technical development activities with subject matter experts, networking with interns and laboratory employees, weekly on-site seminars and training, and opportunities to present work in presentations or poster sessions.
