U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides opportunities for postdoctorals to research in DOE's fusion energy research and development programs for up to 2 years. Administered by Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), the research is collaborative because scholars will be able to interact with established scientists and engineers. Scholars will also be able to work with advanced equipment and facilities. Postdoctoral researchers coming from science and engineering disciplines can choose to carry out research at U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences-supported laboratories, universities, and contractor sites.
