ELIGIBILITY
Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, creed, color, age, sex, or national origin.
Education and Experience - Applicants must have earned a Ph.D., Sc.D., M.D., D.V.M., or academically equivalent research doctorate before beginning tenure.
Level - The Fellowships Office makes NRC Research Associateship awards at the postdoctoral and senior researcher level.
- Postdoctoral Associateships - Applicants must have held the doctorate for less than five years at the time of application.
- Senior Associateships - Applicants will have held the doctorate five years or more at the time of application or will hold a permanent appointment in academia, government, or industry and have research experience that has resulted in significant contributions and recognition as established investigators in their specialized fields. Applicants should check the detail of the particular program to which they are applying to determine if senior applicants are accepted.
Support for graduate fellowships are available through the NETL Methane Hydrate Fellowship Program.
Prior Affiliation with the Laboratory - A primary objective of the NRC Associateship Programs is to provide a mechanism for new ideas and sources of stimulation to be brought to the sponsoring laboratory. Persons with recent prior affiliation with a specific laboratory may not be eligible to apply for an award at that laboratory.
Disqualifying prior affiliation includes the following: - Direct employment relationships either with the laboratory or with a contractor whose work is performed there
- A long-term consulting relationship
Research performed in collaboration with scientists at a sponsoring federal laboratory as a student, postdoc, or faculty member is not considered to be disqualifying.
Citizenship and Immigration Status - Citizenship requirements for the NRC Research Associateship Programs vary depending on the sponsoring federal laboratory. Refer to the citizenship requirements of the agency to which you are applying.
Security Clearance - Some awards are contingent upon the satisfactory completion of a National Agency Check (NAC) or other clearance processes. An unsatisfactory result from the investigation is cause to withdraw the Associateship award offer.
