Fusion Energy Postdoctoral Research

UPDATE: “There will be no new Postdoctoral awards made in 2012, but please check back for information on new awards to be made in 2013 and 2014.”

The Fusion Energy Postdoctoral Research Program offers recent doctoral degree recipients the opportunity to conduct research in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) fusion energy research and development programs. Participants acquire experience and training in areas of fusion energy, interact with outstanding scientists and engineers, and have access to advanced equipment and facilities. Appointments are made to designated DOE laboratories, universities, and contractor fusion energy centers (see participating facilities). An applicant must have received a doctoral degree in an appropriate science or engineering discipline within three years of the desired starting date or expect to complete all requirements for such a degree prior to the desired starting date. The desired starting date must be before December 31 of the application year. Appointments are for one year, normally renewable for a second year.
