The Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School (LADSS) focuses on the multi-disciplinary field of dynamics, spanning mechanical, structural, and electrical systems. The student participants are placed into 3-person multi-disciplinary teams, assigned a research project to be completed in an intense 10-week time frame, and partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) R&D engineers and scientists as mentors for their project. The students' research will develop innovative solutions to LANL mission-relevant problems defined by the program mentors. In addition to this research component, the LADSS also offers formal technical and career–development tutorials.
The projects typically have a modeling, experimental and analysis component. The goal is for the students to produce results and document their activities in a manner suitable for reporting at professional conferences. The students are required to prepare a paper for and present their research results at an international conference taking place the following winter. Travel expenses for conference attendance are covered by the program.
This is a paid internship. The program provides students with a fellowship that ranges from $10,000 to $14,000, depending on academic status and the point of origin for the student's travel to LANL. Fellowship amounts are intended to be comparable to 10-weeks of salary plus travel expenses to and from the school.
If you have questions about the internship or application, contact the program coordinators at ladss@lanl.gov. For problems with the application website, contact SmarterSelect.
