Intern Research - Energy Academic Group
Intern Research
Each year the EAG offers internship opportunities for motivated students who share an interest in energy-related research and a possible future career strengthening the intellectual capital within the U.S. Government. During the summer months, we run a structured 8-10 week internship program, but also have opportunities throughout the year to craft a valuable and challenging experience, both for the intern and for the EAG. Our intern programs are always fast-paced, rigorous, and focused on energy-related challenges facing our nation’s defense. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Alan Howard (arhoward@nps.edu) to see if an internship experience with EAG could be right for you.
