Description
Launched in 2017, the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Laboratory Residency Graduate Fellowship (DOE NNSA LRGF) 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.
The DOE NNSA LRGF connects professors and students working in fields relevant to the DOE lab system 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. Longer stays are highly encouraged, 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.
Eligibilities
The DOE NNSA LRGF is open to U.S. citizens engaged in full-time, uninterrupted study toward a doctoral degree at an accredited U.S. university. Students must be in their second (or later) year of doctoral work in one of the supported fields of study at the time they apply.
Fellows must complete a minimum of two 12-week laboratory residencies at one of four approved NNSA facilities. Extended residencies of more than six months are encouraged. During the summer, fellows should conduct full-time research related to completing their degree, enroll in classes, or make progress toward fulfilling the laboratory residency requirement.
This equal opportunity program is open to all qualified persons without regard to race, gender, religion, age, physical disability or national origin.
TA Policy: Freedom to focus on research
The DOE NNSA LRGF’s support allows students to focus on their academics and research without excessive teaching or other departmental support activities. Each fellow’s department must waive any teaching requirements beyond one term in order for the student to be accepted into the program. Please review our teaching assistant policy in full.
Annual Renewal and availability of funds
The fellowship must be renewed for each of up to four years. Online renewal applications must demonstrate acceptable academic performance, progress toward completing the approved program of study and laboratory residency experiences, and research consistent with program goals. Renewal is contingent on the availability of funds to meet the program’s costs.
The DOE intends to provide adequate support to meet graduate school costs. Therefore, the Krell Institute must approve in advance any teaching or other academic department responsibilities. Fellows may accept scholarships, prizes and other payments (including veteran’s benefits) that do not require a service.
