The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is currently accepting applications for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical Sciences Graduate Internship Program, a 10-week program for graduate students pursuing a doctoral degree in mathematics, statistics or applied mathematics.

To qualify, applicants must be enrolled as a graduate student at an accredited U.S. college or university, have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher and be pursuing a doctoral degree in mathematics, statistics or applied mathematics. Students graduating with a doctoral degree prior to the expected internship start date are not eligible.

Selected participants will receive a stipend of $1,200 per week for their participation in the internship and limited travel reimbursement. All applications must be submitted by March 1, 2017. For more information about the program and application, visit http://www.orise.orau.gov/nsf-msgi/.

The NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences aims to provide opportunities to enrich the training of graduate students in the mathematical sciences by providing opportunities for mathematical sciences doctoral students to participate in internships at U.S. national laboratories, industry and other approved facilities. Participation in an internship will provide first-hand experience of the use of mathematics in a nonacademic setting.

ORISE is a U.S. Department of Energy institute focusing on scientific initiatives to research health risks from occupational hazards, assess environmental cleanup, respond to radiation medical emergencies, support national security and emergency preparedness, and educate the next generation of scientists. ORISE is managed by ORAU.
