OUR MISSION & GOALS

down arrow

A special emphasis on plutonium

Our goals and mission

The Seaborg Institute serves as a center for the education and training of students, visiting scientists, and faculty at all educational levels.

Its goal is to maintain and enhance US capabilities in actinide science and technology—and to help attract, develop, and retain the workforce of actinide scientists needed to meet the needs of the nation.

Our institute supports collaborative research and education for transactinium science by:

  • actively facilitating the nucleation of ideas and formation of research teams for the Laboratory and the nation
  • targeting specific funding sources
  • maintaining support for Seaborg Postdoctoral Fellows and student researchers
  • launching new nuclear science initiatives

Call for Seaborg Postdoctoral Fellows

The G. T. Seaborg Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program supports research in heavy-element science relevant to Laboratory mission intersects with nuclear energy, nuclear weapons, and global security areas by attracting and funding a future generation of postdoctoral scientists.

We are accepting applications for the 2019/2020 Seaborg Postdoctoral Fellows Program.

Application Deadline: May 17, 2019
