Pre-Proposal Deadline: March 3, 2025
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the UC National Laboratories (UCNL) at the University of California (UC), Office of the President (UCOP) are jointly inviting applications for the Michael R Anastasio LANL-UC Early Career Faculty Scholar program. The winning proposal will fund one tenure-track faculty member in the UC system with up to $750k for a 3-year award cycle, planned to commence in October 2025. The technical topic for this call will be in a computational science subject area (details below) centering on overlapping interests between the UC faculty and the Laboratory’s national security programs and mission.
The initiative is intended to develop the next-generation UC academic leadership with strong and enduring Los Alamos National Laboratory connections. This 3-year award allows the recipient to develop their innovative ideas, advance their research, gain tenure, and become recognized for their professional leadership. The award fund is structured to allow faculty to build a research group including undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. The award also provides Laboratory researchers opportunities to collaborate and be more connected to the UC community to enhance its workforce and research objectives. The required annual onsite visit to Los Alamos National Laboratory is intended to strengthen the technical and workforce pipeline connections between UC and the Lab.
