LRGF Welcomes Inaugural Fellows Class
Four doctoral candidates from four universities comprise the first class of a new fellowship that will place them in Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories for long-term study and research.
The DOE National Nuclear Security Administration Laboratory Residency Graduate Fellowship (DOE NNSA LRGF) will connect professors and students working in fields relevant to the DOE with laboratory scientists, fostering collaborative research relationships. The program will strengthen these university-laboratory links through an unusual and exciting provision: fellows will work and study in residence at one or more of four approved DOE NNSA facilities for a minimum of two 12-week periods.
Members of the inaugural fellowship cohort, their subject areas, universities and residency locations are:
|
Stephanie Miller University of Michigan Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion Sandia National Laboratories William Riedel Stanford University Plasma Physics Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory |
Raspberry Simpson Massachusetts Institute of Technology Plasma Physics Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Travis Voorhees Georgia Institute of Technology Materials Science and Engineering Los Alamos National Laboratory |
The fellowship provides excellent financial benefits and professional development opportunities to students pursuing a Ph.D. in fields of study that address complex science and engineering problems critical to stewardship science.
Program guidelines encourage laboratory stays beyond the minimum two visits, up to or including pursuit of thesis studies at a chosen site. This residency requirement opens compelling research opportunities to students and their advisors, including access to unique DOE NNSA experimental and computing facilities.
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration funds the fellowship to train scientists vital to meeting U.S. workforce needs in advanced science and engineering.
Additional details for each fellow will be available via the program's online directory on or after September 1, 2018. Meanwhile, please contact us for further information.
