About the DOE CSGF

The Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF), provides outstanding opportunities to students pursuing doctoral degrees in fields that use high-performance computing to solve complex science and engineering problems. The program fosters a community of energetic and committed Ph.D. students, alumni, DOE laboratory staff and scientists who want to have an impact on the nation while advancing their research.

Established in 1991, the program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration.

DOE Laboratory Practicum Experience

The practicum is a unique opportunity for DOE CSGF fellows to work in a DOE laboratory with some of the most respected scientists in the world. This experience offers the fellows insight into how their scientific interests can translate to research areas important to the nation. Working outside of their thesis studies, the fellows use the practicum as a time to learn new skills and expand their research capabilities. The practicum takes place over a 12-week-minimum period, typically in the summer months, where fellows relocate to the facility and contribute to the work of the laboratory's multidisciplinary teams – most often with ties to high-performance computing resources.
