Calling all computational scientists and engineers! Located in the vibrant city of Berkeley is the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, a place where cutting edge technology and brilliant minds come together to explore, innovate and discover new science horizons. We can’t imagine a better place to expand your research knowledge and explore new research opportunities.

The Sustainable Research Pathways Program gives you that opportunity. The opportunity to work in conjunction with Berkeley Lab staff, world leaders in computing, computational biological, physical, materials, chemical, and energy sciences research.

How It Works

The SRP Program consists of two major parts: a fast paced one-day matching workshop, and a 10-week summer research experience. This workshop, developed under a partnership between Sustainable Horizons Institute and Berkeley Lab, is designed for faculty from a variety of institutions, including Minority Serving Institutions (MSI), women’s, liberal arts, and community colleges, which support students such as: women, minorities, first generation scholars, and people with disabilities as well as those from under-privileged backgrounds. Through SRP faculty have the opportunity to learn about opportunities for themselves and their students to engage in collaborative, cutting-edge research with Berkeley Lab computing scientists.

Selected faculty will be invited to a workshop on December 3-4, 2019, at Berkeley Lab. Computing Sciences lab staff will discuss their research projects and interests and invited faculty attendees will present their work during a poster blitz and poster session. Matched faculty will be invited to apply for summer research opportunities for faculty/student teams or for students on their own, at Berkeley lab. Additional time at the workshop will be designated for lab staff and faculty discussions to explore potential research collaborations and sponsored programs.
