PNNL Alternate Sponsored Fellowships for Students, Faculty and Visiting Scientists
The Office of Science and Engineering Education (SEE) manages fellowship opportunities at PNNL for college-level students, postdocs, faculty and visiting scientists (from government/industry) who are receiving a salary/stipend or some form of payment throughout the duration of their fellowship at PNNL. This could include money from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Energy (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF), Academia Resource Management (ARM), Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), income from your university or any other legitimate funding agent approved by SEE. Fellows in the ASF program may be reimbursed for expenses (limited lodging, airfare, etc.) and are not considered employees of PNNL, Battelle, or DOE during their fellowship.
ASF fellowships are set up on a one-to-one basis between the PNNL mentor and ASF fellow, this is not a program that students/faculty apply to unless they have already identified a PNNL host/mentor.
Current Participants
Eighteen is the minimum age for participation regardless of the individual's education level. Fellows must receive funding from their home institution.
Additional Requirements
All fellows are required to have health insurance during their appointment in order to be granted access to PNNL facilities. PNNL does not provide health insurance benefits, nor are fellows able to purchase medical insurance through PNNL.
Program Duration: Twelve (12) months.
Reimbursements: Reimbursements for lodging, airfare and rental car may be provided by PNNL but is at the discretion of the hosting staff member.
Housing: Fellows must make their own housing arrangements, however, SEE has ample resources to assist fellows with accomplishing this task. PNNL's on-site dormitory, the Guest House, is extremely well-suited for visitors, and is located within walking distance of most PNNL facilities. SEE also maintains a list of private homes who offer room and board arrangements and has information on local apartments for rent.
