In the Operations Internship Program, undergraduate, and graduate students join staff at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory for 10 weeks in the summer providing a valuable, practical experience performing tasks critical to the successful operations of a National Laboratory, outside of research and engineering, including, but not limited to: accounting, energy management, records management, facilities, maintenance, health physics, etc. 

Jobs (projects) will be posted online on public job boards, on a rolling basis, as projects become available. If a “job” interests you, you will apply for it, and the process will flow like any other job opening. Please check the Princeton University Careers page, and other job boards often for updated projects.

Participants are offered a competitive stipend, housing at the Princeton University dorms, and travel to/from Princeton. Participants will attend a week-long course in plasma physics at the start of the program and will deliver an oral and a poster presentation of their project at its conclusion.

To be eligible, applicants must:

• Must be enrolled in high school, in a four-year college or university, recent graduate (up to one year)
• Be eligible to work in the United States
