Research Internship for ROTC Students

The Materials Science in Extreme Environments Consortium, sponsored by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, has funds available to sponsor ROTC cadets in research during the summer and/or during the academic semester. These internships would involve primary research activities in one of the laboratories of a principal investigator.

Internship Information

  • Commitment levels (hours per week) can be variable
  • Internship can be paid (approx. $15/hr) or offered for academic credit
  • Starting dates can be flexible

There are a limited number of positions available each term. Interested students are encouraged to reach out to the faculty at any time before or during the semester. The following faculty members are investigating different areas of research. Click on the professor's name for more information.
