RESEARCH & INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR STEM STUDENTS AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY
Argonne National Laboratory is the U.S. Department of Energy's multidisciplinary science and engineering research center located in the suburbs of Chicago. From its beginning that goes back to the University of Chicago's work on the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, Argonne National Laboratory provides a crucial contribution to ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. Besides the world-class research, Argonne also plays a prime role in educating and training our Nation's next generation of scientists and engineers. Please join us at this webinar presented by Robert A. Schuch, Argonne's University Student Program Coordinator, and learn about Argonne's scientific divisions, national users' facilities, educational and outreach programs, including summer camps, undergraduate and graduate internships, and much more!
REGISTRATION IS FREE OF CHARGE

Research and Internship Opportunities for STEM Students at Argonne National Laboratory
Biography:
Rob Schuch is a University Student Program Coordinator who comprehensively facilitates the development and implementation of the undergraduate programs at Argonne. Throughout the year, he plans out the spring, summer, and fall undergrad internship programs, organizing both the specifics for the programs and how to best recruit participants and volunteers. For the internships, he creates a diverse set of activities including Lunch with a Researcher events, professional development seminars, and more. Rob also regularly manages and updates Education’s public website. His goal is to ensure that students can make the most of their time at Argonne through immersive programming and networking opportunities.
While studying for a B.S. in Biology at DePaul University, Rob became fascinated in scientific research, which was only strengthened through an internship at Argonne, where he used x-ray instrumentation to image biological and environmental samples at the Advanced Photon Source. Inspired by how summer science programs could be realized into professional careers, Rob joined Argonne after graduating, starting with creating digital STEM resources for underrepresented minority students and gradually advancing to where he is today.
Rob is a member of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS).
