The NRC Research Associateship Program offers prestigious postdoctoral and senior research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions across the U.S. Researchers will conduct self-directed projects that align with the missions of sponsoring laboratories, with a focus on areas like environmental science, advanced technology development, and policy. The program encourages collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, the opportunity to influence government policy, and the chance to present findings at conferences and publish in high-impact journals. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (for postdocs) or higher degree for senior roles, with strong research experience and U.S. citizenship or permanent residency.
