The Argonne Laboratory offers five types of appointments:
(1) Laboratory-Graduate Research Appointments: For graduate students wishing to undertake research at the Laboratory in physical and life sciences, mathematics, computer science, engineering, conservation and environment studies, fission and fusion energy, and other energy technologies. Stipend: Up to $5,000 + travel expenses per year. Open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. No deadline.
(2) Thesis-Parts Appointments: This program supports qualified graduate students who wish to visit Argonne for periods from a few days to a few months, so that they may utilize special Laboratory facilities. Financial support, consisting of travel, housing, and a per diem payment, may be provided to help defray the cost of visiting Argonne.
(3) Guest Graduate Appointments: Guest Graduate Appointments are available for qualified graduate students who show that access to Argonne National Laboratory will be beneficial to their thesis research and to Argonne programs. A Guest Graduate is provided a gate pass, usually for one year, and the student may visit Argonne whenever appropriate. A Guest Graduate receives no stipend from the Laboratory.
(4) Research Aide Appointments:In addition to research participation opportunities, Argonne offers Research Aide appointments to college/university students. These appointments, made primarily during the summer months, are designed to provide the Argonne scientific and engineering staff with technical assistance. Rather than designing their own research program, temporary employees are assigned specific technical tasks. Student-level temporary employees earn a salary, are expected to possess the skills required to do the assigned task when they arrive, and do not participate in the seminar series and field trips. Understanding the scientific basis for the temporary employee's work is generally not emphasized. Students applying for temporary employment should use the research participation application form, clearly marking the temporary employment box.
(5) Cooperative Education: Appointments made primarily during the academic year are typically available to students after completion of four semesters. Salaries are competitive and are based upon the field of study and academic year status of the student. Applications may be submitted at any time; however, students wanting to start work in June, should submit their application by March of the same year. Students desiring to start work assignments in September, should submit their application by May 1 of the same calendar year in order to receive maximum consideration.
