The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is currently accepting applications for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) 2023 Environmental Management Graduate Fellowship Program. This program, under the DOE Office of Environmental Management’s Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program, is designed to provide science and engineering students and graduates from Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) an opportunity for training and mentorship in targeted technical areas of interest and needs of the DOE-EM workforce.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens; eligible for a security clearance as needed; and have earned or be working towards a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) degree at an MSI.

The year-long, paid fellowship offers specialized training, leadership development and professional networking with extensive interaction and collaboration with leading DOE national laboratory researchers, scientists and engineers. Applicants will gain hands-on, field research experience that could lead to a potential career opportunity within the DOE complex.

Technical areas of interest for the fellowship will span across a range of topics, including:

  • Environmental Remediation and Stewardship
  • Nuclear Materials Processing and Disposition
  • Cyber Security
  • Advance Manufacturing
  • Climate Change
  • Deactivation & Decommissioning
  • Robotics
  • Artificial Intelligence

The program’s goal is to develop exceptional graduate students into future leaders who pursue careers at the DOE, DOE national laboratories, DOE contractors, other federal agencies or STEM-related industry.

How to Apply & Program Information:

Program applications are due by Dec. 31, 2022. A live information session is scheduled virtually for Tuesday, Dec. 13, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern.
