Details
The Graduate Research Assistant Program (GRA) is a year-round internship program that provides domestic and international students with relevant research experience while they are pursuing a graduate degree. This educational program is designed to complement the students' education with work experience related to their chosen field of study. In some cases, students can arrange to conduct masters or doctoral thesis research at the Lab. There are appointments in both the technical and professional fields.
Los Alamos National Laboratory is very excited to continue our student internship program. Due to social distancing restrictions, most internships will be limited to remote work off laboratory property until the LANL operating posture changes.

This category applies to those interns who have been awarded a master's degree within the past three years but have not yet been accepted into another master's program or a PhD program. Post-Master's interns may remain in this category for up to two years. To remain in the GRA program after the two-year maximum in the post master's category, interns must be accepted and enrolled in another graduate program (master's or PhD).
