Abstract:

Objectives of the NRC Research Associateship Programs:

– To provide postdoctoral and senior scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability
opportunities for research on problems,

largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the sponsoring laboratories
– To contribute to the overall efforts of the laboratories
– To provide an opportunity for recent doctoral graduates to conduct concentrated research in association with selected members of the permanent professional laboratory staff
– To afford an opportunity for established scientists and engineers to conduct research without the interruptions and distracting assignments of a permanent career position
