Paid Aerospace Internships for Women and Gender Minorities
Interested in a career in aerospace? The Brooke Owens Fellowship provides paid internships (in engineering, business, journalism, communications, and more) and executive mentorship to women and gender minorities in the aerospace industry. The application is currently live until October 7th.
Why apply? Fellows have interned at over 30 host companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin. Each cohort also convenes for a 3-day summit in July to build connections with their class and network with top aerospace professionals. In addition to a paid internship and summit experience, fellows are matched with executive mentors— think CEOs and astronauts!
Still interested? Fill out this form to join a live Zoom session where you can get an overview of the fellowship and answers to any questions that pop up. Take a look at the application as soon as possible to request recommendations and start thinking about your application pieces. Feel free to Emily Calandrelli if you have any questions. emily@brookeowensfellowship.org
Department of Energy's Office of Science Accepting Applications for Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Awards
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2023 Solicitation 2 cycle. Applications are due on November 8, 2023, at 4:00 pm CST.
SCGSR application assistance workshops will be held on Thursday, September 14, 2023, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM CST and Tuesday, October 10, 2023, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM CST. The first workshop will provide a general overview of the program and the application requirements and will include a time for discussing potential research topics with the program managers; register here. The second workshop will guide attendees through the application process, answer general questions, provide guidance on proposal writing and feature discussions with scientists and former awardees; register here.
The SCGSR program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory or facility in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist — with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate students’ overall graduate theses while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the host DOE laboratories. SCGSR is open to current Ph.D. students in qualified graduate programs at accredited U.S. academic institutions, who are conducting their graduate thesis research in targeted areas of importance to the DOE Office of Science. Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to over 1,000 graduate awardees from 158 U.S. universities to conduct thesis research at all 17 DOE national laboratories across the nation.
The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), in collaboration with the Office of Science’s six research program offices, two R&D and production offices, and with the DOE national laboratories/facilities. Program administration support is provided by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). More information on the SCGSR program can be found at https://science.osti.gov/wdts/scgsr
