Applications for ALS Doctoral Fellowships will be accepted June 1–June 30. The fellowships allow early-career researchers to spend a year in residence at Berkeley Lab working at the frontier of synchrotron radiation research and helping advance state-of-the-art techniques and applications. While collaborating with a staff member, students acquire hands-on scientific training and develop professional maturity to complement their doctoral research.
Applicants must have passed their Ph.D. qualifying or comprehensive exams and advanced to candidacy, be full-time students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program in the science or engineering disciplines, and pursuing research that will benefit from ALS capabilities.
