NIST Postdoctoral Research Associateships ProgramThe NIST Postdoctoral Research Associateship Program supports a nationwide competive postdoctoral program adminstered by the National Academies/National Research Council (NRC). The NRC, through its Research Associateships Program office, conducts national competitions on NIST's behalf to recommend outstanding scientists and engineers at the postdoctoral level for a two-year excepted term appointments at NIST.
NIST Graduate Student Measurement Science and Engineering (GMSE) Fellowship Program
The NIST GMSE fellowship program provides doctoral-level graduate students with opportunities and financial assistance to obtain laboratory experience within the NIST laboratories in the Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines related to NIST mission-research. The program is administered through the National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC).
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program
The NIST SURF program is an 11-week fellowship program that provides undergraduate students the opportunity for hands-on experience in the science and engineering research areas at NIST. It is open to undergraduate students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in physics, materials science, engineering, computer science, chemistry, applied mathematics or related areas. The program offers fellowships in all of NIST's Laboratories, and at both the main Gaithersburg campus and the Boulder campus.
Professional Research Experience Program (PREP)
PREP provides valuable laboratory experience and financial assistance to undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students. Fellowships are awarded to assure continued growth and progress of science and engineering in the U.S.
