Please share the attached UMD UROC summer 2024 internship program flyer far and wide. 

***NEW THIS YEAR: rolling applications and acceptances starting NOW!***

We select projects and candidates judiciously based on research interest. Students from any accredited university or community college are eligible and welcome to apply today!

Four application documents are required; please forward to the internship review committee at uroc@umd.edu

  • resume
  • a short description of the intended project
  • an endorsement (letter, email, etc.) from an academic/subject matter expert mentor who will advise on the project
  • a best-guess cost estimate for the project

A couple of key takeaways: 

  • These PAID full-time positions are located in southern Maryland at our 12,000 sq ft research hangar at St. Mary’s County Airport, just a few miles from Naval Air Station Patuxent River
  • Interns must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents due to ITAR equipment in use
  • Summer 2024 internship program will run from Wednesday, May 29, 2024 – early August, 2024
  • Positions may be continued part-time into the academic year at the student’s home institution
  • Project must fly (or try!) by the end of the summer; we are a flight operations center!
  • For students who do not live close enough to commute, the UROC will offer affordable local options. Details TBA.


Thanks for your help in finding the best candidates for our positions!
