Department of Energy laboratory staff, including a group of world-class scientists, are an integral part of the DOE CSGF community.  Below are just a few of the ways they involve themselves in the program and fellowship community.

DOE laboratory staff:

  • Participate at the annual program review, where they interact with fellows and other attendees, give keynote talks, and host booths at the DOE Laboratory Poster Session
  • Serve as practicum coordinators, helping fellows find appropriate research mentors and providing assistance throughout their practicum experiences
  • Host fellows during their practicum, collaborating on breaking research developments
  • Attend regional social gatherings where they give thought-provoking talks, and provide informal mentoring and networking opportunities
  • Contribute to the private online community Wikipedia site, including
    information about potential practicum and job opportunities
  • Share information about career and job opportunities

" The DOE will have to be the go-to organization for what we face in this country. This agency, in my mind, is the key agency for the future of the U.S."
— Dr. Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy during his January 22, 2009 address to DOE national laboratory staff
