Please Notice the Following Postdoc Fellow Opportunities at Los Alamos
National Laboratory:

Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows

Candidates must display extraordinary ability in scientific research and
show clear and definite promise of becoming outstanding leaders in the
research they pursue. These fellowships provide the opportunity for
recipients to collaborate with LANL scientists and engineers on
staff-initiated research. Appointments are for three years. Sponsored
candidates packages will be reviewed by the Postdoctoral Committee during
the January quarterly meeting. To be considered for one of the
distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow appointments, candidates must be
nominated and sponsored by a member of the Lab's technical staff.

Marie Curie (MC) Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow - Named after the
distinguished nuclear scientist and only person honored with two Nobel
Prizes in different scientific categories (Physics in 1903 and Chemistry
1911). Awarded to the highest-ranked women candidates. Open to all
nationalities and research areas aligned with the Laboratory's missions.

Richard P. Feynman (RPF) Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in Theory and
Computing - Named after the famed theoretical physicist and winner of the
1965 Nobel Prize in Physics. Awarded to the highest-ranked candidates in
theory or computing. Candidates must have the ability to obtain a DOE "Q"
Security Clearance, which usually requires U.S. Citizenship.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (JRO) Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow - Named
after the Laboratory's first Director. Open to all nationalities and
research areas aligned with the Laboratory's missions.

Frederick Reines (FR) Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental
Sciences - Named after the former LANL researcher who won the 1995 Nobel
Prize in Physics. Awarded to the highest-ranked candidates in experimental
sciences. Candidates must have the ability to obtain a DOE "Q" Security
Clearance, which usually requires U.S. Citizenship.

Postdoctoral Fellows

Director's Postdoctoral Fellows collaborate with LANL scientists and
engineers on staff-initiated research. Candidates are selected based on
the strengths of their academic and research accomplishments as well as
the strength of their proposed research. Sponsored candidate packages will
be reviewed by the Postdoctoral Committee during each of the quarterly
meetings.


Agnew National Security Postdoctoral Fellows are provided the opportunity
to pursue cutting-edge experimental, theoretical, computational science,
and engineering research aligned with the national security mission.  Open
to those who have the ability to obtain a DOE "Q" Security Clearance,
which usually requires U.S. Citizenship. Sponsored candidate packages will
be reviewed by the Postdoctoral Committee during the May quarterly
meeting.

Entrepreneurial Postdoctoral Fellows are provided the opportunity to
combine postdoctoral research with the direct experience needed to
participate in commercialization activities. This program will also
incorporate business and entrepreneurship training and development from a
diverse set of experts. Open to those who have the ability to obtain a DOE
"Q" Security Clearance, which usually requires U.S. Citizenship. Sponsored
candidate packages will be reviewed by the Postdoctoral Committee only
during designated quarters.

Nicholas C. Metropolis Postdoctoral Fellows are provided the opportunity
to pursue cutting-edge research in the areas of computational and computer
science, physics, and engineering. Under the Advanced Simulation and
Computing (ASC) Program, computer simulation capabilities are developed to
support the stockpile stewardship program together with broader national
nuclear security needs. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to
use the most powerful supercomputers in the world to perform pioneering
research in these disciplines.  Sponsored candidate packages will be
reviewed by the Postdoctoral Committee only during designated quarters.
