The Scientist magazine named Argonne National Laboratory the fourth best place for postdocs to work. The magazine’s ninth annual “Best Places to Work for Postdocs” survey recognized Argonne for its ability to not only provide adequate guidance to young researchers, but also to allow them a certain level of independence and creative freedom. Argonne is the only DOE lab recognized in the survey, and its rank has gone from 11th to fourth in just one year.
“Part of our mission is to inspire and educate our nation’s future scientists and engineers,” said Argonne Director Eric Isaacs. “Postdocs at Argonne are collaborating with world renowned experts to accelerate discoveries and enable breakthroughs in energy and the environment while advancing America’s competitiveness and economic stability.”
Argonne’s three main postdoctoral programs are the Named Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, Director’s Postdoctoral Fellowships and Division Postdoctoral Appointments.
