LLNL’s mission includes bio-security, counterterrorism, defense, energy, intelligence, nonproliferation, science & technology and the weapons & complex integration. Projects can support research in nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological countermeasures, information analysis and infrastructure protection, border and transportation security, emergency preparedness and response, consequence management including fallout and radiation field mapping, radiation detection: detector and application development, modeling, simulation, and experimental studies of aerodynamics of vehicles, hypersonics, AI/Deep Machine Learning, satellite operations and navigation, energy systems and security, counter-proliferation and nonproliferation, remote sensing, directed energy, information science, space and more. This coming summer, LLNL hopes to host 4 to 5 Army ROTC Cadets

Salary will range from the students major and years of schooling. As example, someone starting their junior year in the fall would earn $21.70/hr. There are some opportunities in social science and business majors.

An internship is 8 hrs/day and 5 days/wk. The preferred appointment is 10 to 12 weeks. Any less and it has to be supported by the host researcher. LLNL hosts 900+ upper level undergrads and graduate students. So the ROTC Intern program is a small program in relation to all the other students coming to LLNL. There are optional lectures and tours and networking throughout the summer and there will be a required ROTC lecture series. During the days the ROTC lectures are held, cadets will be required to be in uniform. LLNL is a GOCO or government contractor. Employees are civilian, so civilian attire is the norm.

The ROTC internship allows cadets to network across the services with other ROTC cadets and midshipman, with academy cadets and midshipman and of course with lab employees, many of which are retired from the service or on reserve and still connected to the military in support of DoD thru programs at LLNL. This can help as you start and move thru your military career.

Applications are accepted starting 1 October at https://scholars.llnl.gov. Openings are filled on a 1^st come, 1^st served basis or rolling admission. Questions to include resumes and cover letters to be directed to Barry Goldman at goldman1@llnl.gov.
