PREP is currently taking resumes and cover letters for our General File of candidates for positions in the Professional Research Experience Program at NIST. PREP at NIST is a great way to get hands-on, paid experience in a federal research lab. The General File of applicants is not a job, but it is the first place NIST scientists look for candidates when they have a job to fill.

To be eligible for PREP at NIST, you must be enrolled full-time at CU and have a cumulative GPA of 3.000 or higher. Some positions at NIST will have course prerequisites, so please include a “Relevant Coursework” section on your resume to aid the scientists at NIST in their selection process. (Relevant coursework could include the Chemistry series, Thermodynamics, etc.)

For more information, students may consult job posting #81968 on Career Buffs, or contact  CLSWilson@colorado.edu . Interested students should submit materials by May 7th, 2017.
