The intent of the program is to provide stable support at a sufficient level and duration to enable awardees to develop careers, not only as outstanding researchers, but also as educators demonstrating commitment to teaching, learning, and dissemination of knowledge. DOE-NE encourages all eligible applicants, especially women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities, to apply.
This FOA is soliciting distinguished early career applications that provide a clear research and education plan that highlights the applicant’s research and educational strengths, the research and education vision to support the development of the faculty member, research infrastructure, curriculum, and research outcomes that will advance the applicant’s research focus while training the next generation of nuclear energy professionals. Applications should focus on DOENE mission areas.
The extraordinary characteristic that places the DOE-NE Early Career Award into a Distinguished category is the truly integrated nature of excellence in research, education, and leadership. The applicant must demonstrate excellence in all three categories, including the vision to accomplish all in an integrated plan over the course of a career horizon.
