Overview
Join us and make YOUR mark on the World!Are you interested in joining some of the brightest talent in the world to strengthen the United States’ security? Come join Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) where our employees apply their expertise to create solutions for BIG ideas that make our world a better place.We are looking for individuals that demonstrate an understanding of working in partnership with team peers, who engage, advocate, and contribute to building an inclusive culture, and provide expertise to solve challenging problems.Pay Rate$140,496 AnnuallyPlease note that the pay range information is a general guideline only. Many factors are taken into consideration when setting starting pay including education, experience, the external labor market, and internal equity.We have two openings for our prestigious and distinguished postdoctoral fellowships in the Strategic Deterrence (SD) Directorate, the John S. Foster, Jr. Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Harold Brown Postdoctoral Fellowship. Named after the Laboratory’s renowned physicists Dr. John S. Foster, Jr. and Dr. Harold Brown, these fellowships recognize individuals whose research aligns with the Laboratory’s national security mission.These prestigious postdoctoral fellowships will allow you to take your skills to the next level and apply them to solving the nation’s most pressing science and engineering challenges. The purpose of these fellowships is to pursue groundbreaking science and to stimulate ideas for cross fertilization. Foster and Brown Fellows will participate in creative and independent research in an aspect of science and engineering relevant to the competencies at LLNL.We invite PhD graduates from a variety of STEM fields (including, but not limited to, the various physics disciplines, engineering, experimental science, computational sciences, planetary science, chemistry, or material science) to apply for these distinguished postdoctoral fellowships. These opportunities are intended for individuals who have finished their PhD and wish to further develop their skills, knowledge, and/or abilities. These positions are in the Design Physics Division within the Strategic Deterrence (SD) Directorate.These positions may offer a hybrid schedule, blending in-person and virtual presence. They may have the flexibility to work from home one or more days per week.Our postdoctoral fellowships positions are atypical — we select highly qualified candidates based on demonstrated research aptitude and then customize the project assignment to fit their abilities and interests as well as our needs.
