Student, Graduate and Faculty Research Opprotunities

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Office of Fellowship Programs provides educational opportunities to students, faculty, and visiting scientists that will not only enhance the Laboratory's research and development efforts, but ultimately assist in building, enriching, and diversifying the nation's technical workforce.

The Laboratory hosts more than 800 visiting students, faculty and scientists each year.

PNNL’s fellowship programs provide in-depth research experiences under the guidance of knowledgeable mentor scientists and engineers. Participants have access to and use of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities and an opportunity to address important, real-world challenges. PNNL also offers fellowships for undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and visiting scientists, as well as temporary employment for post-graduates.

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsible for solving agricultural problems of national importance. ARS research develops solutions to a wide range of problems related to food and agriculture—problems requiring long-term commitment of resources and problems unlikely to have solutions with the quick commercial payoff that would convince private industry to do the research. These problems range from protecting crops and livestock from costly pests and diseases to improving quality and safety of agricultural commodities and products, determining the best nutrition for humans from infancy to old age, sustaining natural resources, and ensuring profitability for producers and processors while keeping costs down for consumers. In addition to serving this broad range of customers, ARS provides research to support Federal action and regulatory agencies.

ARS employs about 8,000 people; 2,000 of them are scientists. The agency's national programs are divided among three major areas:

  • Animal Production, Product Value, and Safety—improving productivity, value, and safety of meat and dairy products and improving human lives through nutrition.
  • Natural Resources and Sustainable Agricultural Systems—developing new practices and technologies that conserve natural resources and balance agricultural production with environmental quality.
  • Crop Production, Product Value, and Safety—improving productivity, value, and safety of crops that are the economic backbone of U.S. agriculture.

ARS has over 100 research facilities strategically located in major farm and rangeland ecosystems throughout the United States and in several foreign countries.
