Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Laboratory Residency Graduate Fellowship

The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Laboratory Residency Graduate Fellowship (DOE NNSA LRGF) is currently accepting applications through March 17, 2021.

The DOE NNSA LRGF provides outstanding benefits and opportunities to U.S. citizens pursuing degrees in fields relevant to the stewardship of the nation’s nuclear stockpile − namely engineering and applied sciences, physics, materials, and mathematics and computational science. Fellowships include at least two 12-week research residencies at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, or the Nevada National Security Site. Fellows are encouraged to extend these residencies to carry out thesis research and other studies at the DOE NNSA facilities.

Renewable up to four years, the fellowship is open to U.S. citizens who plan full-time, uninterrupted study toward a doctoral degree at an accredited U.S. university; second-year (or later) graduate students may apply. Benefits include a $36,000 yearly stipend, payment of full tuition and required fees, yearly program review participation and an annual professional development allowance.
