The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Marine Meteorology Division (NRL MMD) in Monterey, CA advertising the Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) for Summer 2025 (https://navalsteminterns.us/nreip/). This 10 week program is open to both undergraduates (who currently have 31 or more college credits and are enrolled at a 4 year U.S. college or university) and graduate students. The deadline to apply is November 1st, 2024. Applications are limited to U.S. citizens.

Each year the U.S. Navy offers summer internships through the Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) (https://navalsteminterns.us/nreip/). This 10 week paid internship provides opportunities for undergraduates (who currently have 31 or more college credits and are enrolled at a 4 year U.S. college or university) and graduate students to participate in research, under the guidance of a mentor, at participating Navy laboratories. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is one of the many U.S. Navy laboratories and institutions participating in NREIP. The bulk of NRL’s scientific divisions are headquartered in Washington, D.C., but there are several satellite offices focused on specific scientific fields. The NRL Marine Meteorology Division (MMD) (https://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/) is located in Monterey, CA where over 60 scientists work on a broad array of atmospheric science topics including: global and mesoscale coupled numerical model development, data assimilation, probabilistic prediction, aerosols, radiation, remote sensing and meteorological applications for the U.S. Navy.

We encourage the top students from our nation’s best meteorology and atmospheric science programs to apply for an NREIP internship at NRL MMD. Students with backgrounds in computer science, mathematics, data mining, and machine learning with an interest in how these areas intersect with meteorological applications are also strongly encouraged to apply. To increase the likelihood of receiving an internship offer in a specific area of research, students are encouraged to carefully review the list of eligible laboratories and identify those that have matching research interests, and then indicate their preferred laboratory on their application where appropriate. Please note that NRL MMD is one of the principal Navy laboratories for research in meteorology and atmospheric science. Please visit the website (https://navalsteminterns.us/nreip/) for more detailed information about NREIP and how to apply. NRL MMD is listed in the NREIP application as “NRL Naval Research Laboratory (Monterey, CA).” Applications are limited to U.S. citizens.
