National Lab Requirements
As a member of the U.S. national laboratory community, Sandia National Laboratories is bound by federal law to adhere to the following employment rules and guidelines:
- Sandia National Laboratories is an Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/D/V.
- Sandia is a Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory; as such, many of our jobs require a DOE security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
- Sandia is required by DOE directive to conduct a pre-employment investigation that involves a credit check, verification of education, contact with listed employers for the last three years, contact with present employer (if applicant consent is given), contact with listed references, and contact with local and national law enforcement. Applicants offered employment with Sandia are then subject to a federal background investigation and must meet the requirements for employment, including access to classified information or matter.
- Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause you to be denied a clearance by the DOE, rendering you unable to perform the duties for which you were hired and resulting in termination of your employment.
- If you are a current Sandia regular employee, you must apply internally through the Sandia intranet Careers site. Contractors and Sandia temporary employees (e.g., Limited Term, Postdoc, Student Intern, etc.) must apply externally through the corporate employment website.
- Sandia does not accept unsolicited resume submissions online, by e-mail, or by mail. Only individuals applying to a specific job opening through the Sandia corporate employment website will be considered. Sandia does not allow late applications once the posting period for a job has passed.
