Description
The Masters Fellowship Program (MFP) is a limited external, hiring program; not for on-roll employees. The MFP Program is designed to help Sandia meet its affirmative action goals while at the same time building Sandia's capabilities with exceptional employees who have earned advanced degrees in Science, Engineering and Technology. Hiring into MFP will be based on a pre-determined maximum number of hires as budget permits each fiscal year. Candidates will apply to one job posting for consideration. A combination of a matrix system and line organization interest will determine which “top” candidates are invited to attend an on-site, strategic recruiting event to interview with all interested organizations. Each candidate’s research interest and preference in position will determine organizational placement of the candidate.
