The Los Alamos National Laboratory has a paid, full-time, 10-week summer internship opportunity for students interested in empowering local nonprofit organizations through data science and machine learning.
Applications are due February 6th, 2026.
The LANL Community Data Sprint, now in its sixth year, partners local Northern New Mexico organizations with LANL data scientists and machine learning researchers, using data collected by those organizations to understand community issues and provide actionable insights. The effort culminates in a data sprint where a group of LANL staff and students devotes a full week of time collaborating closely to rapidly produce the data-related insights requested by the partner organizations.
The selected Community Data Science Fellow will work closely with and receive one-on-one mentoring from the Community Data Sprint organizing team, and be involved with all aspects of the Community Data Sprint. This will include helping with organizing and planning before the data sprint week, interfacing with community partners, assisting with dataset transfer and wrangling, participating in the sprint week itself both as a data scientist and as a facilitator, and assisting with follow-up activities such as producing final reports and evaluating impact.
