LLNL Computing internships give you the chance to work on real problems that matter. Last year, over 200 students joined our program, and many plan to return for another internship based on their experience here.
As an LLNL Computing intern, you'll work directly with scientists on cutting-edge research projects. You'll solve actual challenges, contribute to work with national impact, and build skills that set you apart in the tech industry.
Our interns become part of the LLNL family. You'll attend weekly technical seminars, collaborate with world-leading experts, present your work at our Summer Student Showcase, and explore everything the Bay Area has to offer. Silicon Valley's innovation hub becomes your workplace.
Many of our interns return as Lawrence Scholars, postdocs, or full-time employees. You'll join a workforce that rivals top universities and national labs in science and technology. This internship isn't just a resume line. It's a launchpad.
We offer paid internships during fall, spring, and summer for both undergraduate and graduate students. Apply now.

What Is a Supercomputer?
Supercomputing, scientific computing, and HPC are cool buzzwords, but what do they actually mean? What is a supercomputer? How does it work? And why do we use them?
What If...?
At LLNL, the realm of what’s possible is only bounded by the questions we’re willing to ask. Our multidisciplinary teams pursue big ideas using innovative science and technology to make the world a better place.
