In the fall of 2010, Kristin Persson had been at the Lab for two years. Hired to do lithium-ion battery modelling, she had her eye on a project to conduct data-driven research and design across chemistries to facilitate materials learning across systems. She decided to apply for an LDRD award (her second application, the […]
Welcome to the Deputy Laboratory Director for Research website
The Office of the Deputy Laboratory for Research (ODLDR) has a new website which follows a new website theme design, developed to give Berkeley Lab websites a consistent look and feel. The focus of the web content is the services provided by ODLDR. Berkeley Lab employees and affiliates can search or navigate through services, as well […]
Training Tomorrow’s Scientists and Engineers
Fellowships and internships can make a huge difference in a young scientist or engineer’s career. They provide experiences that can shed light on career options, provide opportunities to explore new areas of science, and build skills, to name just a few benefits. Berkeley Lab has many such fellowships and internships as a part of its […]
COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 Research Products Repository
To better coordinate work, inform the development of a COVID-19 research strategy, and meet DOE requirements, the Lab has set up a repository for Berkeley Lab research products related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2. All research products involving Berkeley Lab scientists should be submitted to the repository in advance of submission to a journal or archive or […]
COVID-19 Strategy Development and Survey
Since March, Berkeley Lab has been a key participant in the National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory (NVBL), a consortium of Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories with core capabilities relevant to the threats posed by COVID-19. Through the NVBL, we’ve built new research capabilities in a very short period of time, many of which have long-term benefits […]
Export Control Restricted Party Screenings
To protect national interests, U.S. export control laws require U.S. entities such as the Lab to conduct Restricted Party Screenings (RPS). The screenings are to ensure that the entity does not engage in activities with sanctioned or denied entities or persons, whether in the U.S. or abroad. The U.S. government publishes various lists of these […]
Revision to Lab Policy on News Media Interactions
Berkeley Lab’s reputation for scientific excellence and institutional integrity depends on careful interactions with the public and the news media. The Lab’s revised Media Interactions and External Communications Policy, in effect starting August 1, 2020, requires coordination of all Lab-related news media interactions with Strategic Communications (media@lbl.gov) or your organization’s communications team. This policy aligns with […]
Use Pivot to Find, Manage Funding Opportunities
Pivot, an online research service and database used by thousands of research institutions, provides a single, comprehensive resource for federal, state, and foundation funding opportunities. The Lab covers the annual subscription fee, so it is a free service at the Lab. Contact: Bill Johansen Link: Message From Director Witherell
Career Pathways Office to Support Career Development
To address the need for career development and clarity about career paths and processes in our scientific areas, a new office has been created, the Career Pathways office, in the Lab Directorate. Initially, the existing Postdoc Scholars Program and Early Career Enrichment Program will be brought together into the Pathways office. In later phases, the […]
