Berkeley Lab is committed to developing a workforce of gifted and creative people. We engage with our local communities to build a pipeline to careers at the Lab, provide access to aspiring researchers, partner with local community colleges, and offer postdoctoral researchers career-accelerating opportunities.
Academic Learning Internships and Faculty Training (A-LIFT)
The A-LIFT team at Berkeley Lab designs and delivers learning programs for K-12, undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, graduate students, and faculty. Their programs inspire, equip, and connect the next generation of scientists, engineers, and researchers through hands-on opportunities, mentorship, and engagement with cutting-edge science.
Postdoc Program
Providing postdoctoral researchers and visiting scholars a meaningful experience to jump start their careers through career development, networking, mentoring, and community.
"My career goal is to inspire the next generation into STEM careers."
"The biggest reward as a mentor is when my interns were able to get jobs they wanted or further their education (in part) because of the skills they acquired in my lab. I am even more proud, when interns want to stay in Berkeley Lab to further their projects."
"Countless exciting interdisciplinary conversations are happening right now. It is the perfect place for me to advance my research and explore new fields."
QCaMP is a four-week camp aimed at high school students in the Bay Area (California), Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Gallup (NM). The program is co-hosted by Sandia and Berkeley National Laboratories and seeks to encourage more students to consider Quantum Information Science related majors and careers.
