The NRC Research Associateship Program offers a prestigious opportunity for postdoctoral and senior researchers to engage in independent research aligned with the missions of federal laboratories. Researchers will have the opportunity to conduct self-directed projects in fields such as policy and global affairs, environmental science, and advanced technology development. Successful candidates will collaborate with lab staff, mentor junior researchers, and influence government policy. Applicants should have a Ph.D. (for postdoctoral positions) or a higher degree (for senior positions), along with strong research and problem-solving skills.
