Performing robust research in a scientific R&D environment

Mission

Los Alamos National Laboratory's Postdoctoral (Postdoc) Program offers the opportunity for recently graduated appointees to perform research in a robust scientific R&D environment, present and publish research, advance knowledge in basic and applied science and strengthen national scientific and technical capabilities.

The Postdoc Program is a pipeline at the Lab that serves as a catalyst for a successful career in science and technology research. The Postdoc Program offers unique opportunities through experimental and/or theoretical research, intentional mentorship, career development programs, creative collaborations and diverse networking.

"Postdocs at Los Alamos can do things they can't do other places. You take excellent people, and you connect them with excellent tools, and you can do world changing science."
