What to Expect During Your Internship or Fellowship
Once you've decided on an internship or fellowship opportunity, what can you expect during the experience? The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education is here to help you along your journey. ORISE gives students, recent graduates, and postdocs an opportunity to be paired with a staff scientist who will provide a hands-on research experience at a U.S. national laboratory or federal research center.
One of the key advantages of pursuing an internship or fellowship is the opportunity to "test drive" your career interests. The experience allows you to work alongside scientists and other professionals who provide mentoring, answer questions, and help you learn more about how a career in STEM can further your professional goals.
