NATIONAL LABORATORY STUDENT INTERNSHIPS

NATIONAL LABORATORY STUDENT INTERNSHIPS

Over the next five years, the CVT will deliver new instruments and methods for nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and arms control treaty verification. We will educate more than 60 Bachelors, Masters, and Ph. D. students (CVT Fellows and CVT Associates) with the talent, training, and commitment to meet the current and emerging challenges in this field. These graduates will have strong ties to the national laboratory system thanks to the collaborative research projects in which they will be engaged. Each CVT Fellow at the Ph. D. level will participate in at least one national laboratory internship in the course of his or her fellowship. The available mentors and projects at the national laboratories are listed below.
