Postdoctoral Researchers

Postdoctoral Researchers at NERS engage in cutting-edge research to design, build, run and regulate nuclear power plants in the US and abroad. In addition, they help advance the application of radiation in medicine, nuclear security, the dismantling of weapons, the disposal of radioactive wastes, and basic research. Postdocs leverage their graduate experience to perform advanced research, with more autonomy, and to guide current NERS undergraduate and graduate researchers.
