Harry S. Truman Fellowship

We are now accepting applications for the Harry S. Truman Fellowship (in National Security Science and Engineering). The Truman Fellowship is Sandia National Labs' most prestigious post-doctoral fellowship with about two recipients each year. 

The Truman Fellowship provides an opportunity for recipients to pursue independent research that supports Sandia's national security mission. Candidates must display extraordinary abilities in scientific research and show clear and definite promise of becoming outstanding leaders in the research they pursue. They are expected to have solved a major scientific or engineering problem in their thesis work or will provide a new approach to solving a major problem, as evidenced by a recognized impact in their field. 

The Truman Fellowship is a three-year appointment and normally commences on October 1, although exceptions may be made to accommodate special circumstances. For complete application instructions, please visit: http://www.sandia.gov/careers/students_postdocs/fellowships/truman_fellowship.html

*These benefits vary by job classification.

Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE L-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.

Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by the DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.
