Students with majors in a physical or natural science, engineering, computer science, or mathematics are preferred, but all eligible students will be considered.
This 10-weeks’ program runs from June 7, 2021 to August 13, 2021. Summer interns will work one-on-one with scientists from the LPI or the NASA Johnson Space Center on a research project. Interns are selected by the project advisors who look for academic excellence and scientific interest and backgrounds compatible with their specific project needs.
Given the uncertainty resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 summer internship program is expected to have a virtual component. Although they hope to provide some onsite internships, the need may arise to host fully virtual projects. Selected participants will be notified in March of the internship platform.
