Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship – NIST SURF Program

The NIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program is an 11-week-long, paid summer internship that can offer students the chance to work on experimental and modeling projects in the Fire Research Division. Recent SURF projects in our group have focused on designing, building, and calibrating advanced testing apparatus, performing fire test measurements across a range of scales, and developing scripts and other analytical tools to parse and analyze measurement data. Application is competitive and approximately one of every three students receives an offer for a fellowship (across all of NIST). Selection depends upon the number and quality of applications and the number of NIST projects available. Limited financial assistance for housing and travel is also available for students who need to relocate for the summer. 

General Information for Applicants (including eligibility requirements, deadlines, and how to apply) is available online: https://www.nist.gov/surf.
