Fellowships and Non-federal Internships
In addition to our Federal intern programs, The Department of Energy also offers several fellowships and stipend-based internship opportunities. These stipend-based programs are temporary positions and do not lead to a permanent Federal position. They offer insight into how the agency works and an opportunity to be part of innovation and technology, as well as gain hands-on experience while networking with other professionals.
Only here, at Energy, can you learn about other professional opportunities and continue your career in science and innovation.
