Also, Berkeley Lab Learning Institute sponsors a Position Announcements Website. This site is a resource for postdocs and graduate student research assistants who work at Berkeley Lab and are looking for scientific positions at organizations outside of the Laboratory. Divisions periodically post position announcements they receive from universities, other national laboratories, and industry on this site. It also includes links to position listings at a variety of institutions.
