Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) Summer Intern Program

Summer interns will work one-on-one with a scientist from the LPI or the NASA Johnson Space Center on a research project. During the 10-week internship, students have opportunities to participate in enrichment activities, including lectures and career development workshops.

The benefits of this internship include:

  • Gaining valuable research experience
  • Developing new skills and refining others
  • Meeting and working with professionals
  • Establishing contacts for letters of reference and networking
  • Experiencing a new work environment

LPI invites undergraduates with at least 50 semester hours of credit to experience cutting-edge research in the lunar and planetary sciences. Students with majors in physical or natural sciences, engineering, computer science, or mathematics are preferred, but all eligible students will be considered.
