Postdoctoral Fellowships
If you are a recent doctoral graduate, or postdoc, and would like to obtain additional training within your field, ORISE can help you find a postdoctoral research fellowship at a national laboratory or federal research facility nationwide.
Becoming a postdoctoral researcher allows you to strengthen your professional and academic skills in a specialized area before moving on to a permanent position. If a postdoc sounds right for you, the ORISE can help you find the right opportunity to advance your career.
For scientists who have recently completed their Ph.D. in a STEM-related discipline, postdoc fellowships can help you advance your skills at a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory or other federal research facility. ORISE manages postdoctoral fellowships across the United States, many of which have immediate openings for qualified candidates.
