The Chemical Sciences Division (CSD) offers a wide range of postdoctoral research opportunities in the chemical sciences. Opportunities are available for research in all aspects of measurement science, with applications to clinical chemistry, the environment, food and nutrition, forensics, energy, and homeland security. Applicants must be U. S. citizens and must complete all Ph.D. degree requirements. The National Research Council (NRC) administers this Research Associateship Program for participating federal laboratories through a competitive application process. Details of the application process, and other aspects of the program, are provided on the Research Associateship Program web site.
A list of current research opportunities within CSD is provided below. For more information, contact any research advisor on the linked resource pages.
The Chemical Sciences Division welcomes inquiries about research opportunities at NIST and actively promotes diversity and inclusivity in hiring practices.
