The program, which will be managed by Savannah River National Laboratory, is designed to connect the pool of candidates graduating from roughly 700 minority-serving institutions in the United States to national laboratory positions to address the nation’s environmental, energy, and national security challenges. According to the DOE, many minority-serving institutions have established degree programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Places of employment: Postdoctoral researchers participating in the program will work for two-year terms as full-time employees at one of the six participating national laboratories:
- Savannah River National Laboratory
- Argonne National Laboratory
- Idaho National Laboratory
- Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Quote: “Expansion of the Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program’s Postdoctoral Research Program to serve six of the nation’s laboratories is a key step toward ensuring that the DOE and its national laboratories have a diverse and highly qualified talent pool from which to develop its current and future workforce,” said Nicole Nelson-Jean, associate principal deputy assistant secretary for field operations in the DOE’s Office of Environmental Management.
