Meet a LANL Grad Student

Armanda Roco was chosen for a summer internship at Los Alamos National Laboratory where she is putting her classroom studies to use by conducting biological research.

Los Alamos National Laboratory offers a work environment to students, postdoctoral appointees, career employees, and contractor (staff augmentation) personnel in which individuals are inspired by, and rewarded for, tackling the toughest challenges facing our nation and the world. (Check out more about LANL science, goals, and national security on the 'About LANL' tab.)

In return for their individual and collective contributions, LANL employees are rewarded with a highly competitive pay and benefits structure; an intellectually stimulating, fair, and safe work environment; exciting professional development opportunities; and an institutionalized recognition of the importance of work-life balance.

Created in 1943 as part of World War II's Manhattan Project, the Laboratory was designated a Registered National Historic Landmark in 1966. Today, LANL remains not only an exciting place to work, but a great place to collaborate and network with scientists, researchers, and other experts from around the world.
