Featured Opportunity

December 10-11, 2024: San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego

The University of California Initiative for Fusion Energy workshop aims to facilitate opportunities for new partnerships, collaborations, and discussions among three national laboratories scientists and UC faculty, research scientists, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students on cutting edge science and technology of fusion energy. The conference organizers represent fusion energy expertise from three national laboratories (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) and at least five UC campuses (UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, and UC Santa Cruz). The workshop will address important research questions and engineering and design challenges necessary for fusion energy to transition from the laboratory to a commercially viable power plant.

To address and solve these challenges, register here to join the workshop, either in-person or virtually.

Wednesday, October 16, 2024: UC Riverside 

The University of California (UC) system, in partnership with the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, is seeking proposals from University of California researchers for collaborative projects that advance the frontiers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) at scale.

The central goal is to develop scientific AI systems that benefit from computational scale while also harnessing the power of interdisciplinary AI and science expertise. By building robust, interdisciplinary teams, we aim to leverage novel AI techniques, computational resources, and domain expertise to develop scalable solutions that significantly advance key application areas, including Multiphysics Applications, Biological Systems, and Materials Discovery.

Registration is now closed. 

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Critical & Emerging Technologies (CET) released a Request for Information (RFI)

to seek public input on DOE’s Frontiers in AI for Science, Security, and Technology (FASST) initiative. The FASST initiative intends to build the world’s most powerful integrated scientific AI models for scientific discovery, applied energy deployment, and national security applications. The RFI seeks public input to inform how DOE can leverage its existing assets at its 17 national labs and partner with external organizations to support the FASST initiative. 

The High Energy Density Science Center Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is soliciting applications. High Energy Density Science is the study of matter and energy under extreme conditions, and we are looking for candidates with expertise ranging from atomic, plasma, nuclear, planetary, stellar, high pressure, and condensed matter physics to high performance computing, diagnostics, and instrumentation. Please help us spread the word by encouraging talented students and collaborators to apply to this position. Applications need to include a CV, research proposal, summary slide, transcripts, and three references. 

Application Deadline: October 15, 2024
Reference Letter Deadline: October 22, 2024

Pay Range $11,708 monthly – Please encourage to apply below.

Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall 2024 term of two undergraduate internship programs offered by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science: the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program. The application deadline is May 22, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students and recent graduates discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from intern to employment

Funding Opportunity Announcement: FY 2024 Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW)Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number: DE-FOA-0003280Total Estimated Funding: $50 MillionDeadline for Pre Applications (required): April 30, 2024 at 5:00pm ET   Deadline for Applications:July 23, 2024 at 11:59pm ET  The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science (SC) is announcing that $50 million is available to build foundations for SC research through traineeships at academic institutions that have been historically underrepresented in the SC portfolio. The Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) initiative supports traineeships for students and postdoctoral researchers from non-R1 emerging research institutions and non-R1 minority serving institutions in areas relevant to SC programs. SC seeks applications to develop traineeships for participants from these institutions that involve conducting research in partnership with a DOE-affiliated institution, including DOE National Laboratories, SC user facilities, Bioenergy Research Centers, or DOE Isotope Program Production Sites.In addition to a webinar describing the FOA, SC will host office hours on April 17, April 25, July 10, and July 18 at 2:00 pm ET for administrative questions related to the FOA. More information on RENEW initiative, including frequently asked questions and office hour registration, is available on the RENEW website.View Funding OpportunityWebinarA webinar will be held to provide information to the community on the RENEW FOA.March 21, 202412 pm ETRegister for Webinar
