Energy Storage Summer Internships

AMMTO Summer Internships are open for applications during the Fall/Winter of each year

2024 Application Year details are forthcoming.

In the application process, you will review available projects for your ORISE summer internship and provide your preference for which project and mentor you want to intern with for the summer. Mentors will review complete applications and project preferences to determine their ORISE intern selections and best match for their projects. Mentors may contact you directly or schedule interviews with you as part of the review process, and we encourage you to engage with them to determine the best fit for you and your potential mentor.

However, mentor selection is only one part of the review process. Mentor selection of your application does not guarantee you will be selected to participate in an internship program.

Once selections are finalized by EERE AMMTO, ORISE will notify you and your mentor if you are selected for an internship program.

• Be a U.S. citizen.
