About this position

The DOE Fusion Energy Sciences Postdoctoral Research Program offers recent and future doctoral degree recipients an opportunity to conduct research supporting the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Fusion Energy Sciences mission.

Postdoctoral fellows develop a proposed research project in collaboration with a suitable hosting facility and mentor. Research may address structural materials science and technology, plasma-facing components, plasma-material interactions, advancing confinement approaches, fuel-cycle and tritium processing, blanket science and technology, fusion plant engineering and systems integration, inertial fusion energy, general plasma science, microelectronics, quantum information science, or artificial intelligence and machine learning for fusion energy sciences.

The program encompasses theory, simulation, and artificial intelligence; fusion materials and internal components; burning-plasma research; closing the fusion cycle; and plasma science and technology. Fellows use the expertise, advanced equipment, facilities, and research capabilities of their selected host organization while collaborating with scientists and engineers working across fusion energy disciplines.

Participants receive early-career professional development through research training, opportunities to publish high-quality work, access to leading scientists, conference participation, and relationship-building intended to support progression toward independent research careers. Applicants are responsible for finding a host facility and securing a mentor whose research aligns with their goals. An optional International Collaboration Supplement can support focused collaborations and travel involving a U.S. mentor and a mentor at a foreign institution.

The appointment is administered through ORISE and may support research at an eligible facility for up to two years.

Funding details

The program provides an annual stipend of $90,000, a supplement to offset health-insurance costs, a one-time $3,000 relocation allowance for eligible participants, and a $4,000 annual travel allowance for FES-related conferences. Appointments may last up to two years; the initial appointment is one year, with a second-year extension subject to satisfactory progress and available funds. An optional International Collaboration Supplement may provide additional support for eligible foreign travel.

What's required

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, must have received a doctoral degree in an appropriate science or engineering discipline within four years of the desired start date or expect to complete all degree requirements before the desired start date, and must be available to conduct research at the hosting facility for up to two years. Applicants must independently identify and secure an eligible hosting facility and mentor. Preferred fields include chemical engineering, computational or experimental plasma physics, computer science, materials science, mathematics, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, physics, plasma-material interfacial science, and theoretical plasma physics. Applications require a Zintellect profile, FES-specific responses, proposed research plan, mentor support letter(s), host-facility approval, current CV, transcripts, and two recommendation forms. Documents must be in English or accompanied by official English translations and uploaded as searchable PDFs.

How to apply

Create or update a Zintellect profile and submit the completed FES application through the Zintellect opportunity page by January 28, 2027, at 5:00 PM EST. Upload the research plan, CV, transcripts, support letters, and other required materials as searchable PDF files, and ensure both recommendation forms are submitted by the same deadline.
