PNNL fills first two distinguished post-doc fellowship slots
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has selected the first-ever recipients of the Pacific Northwest Distinguished Post-Doctoral Fellowship. Grant Johnson and Xiao Lin have been chosen as the first two distinguished post-doctoral fellows at PNNL. As part of the selection process, both candidates presented independent research proposals and, through the fellowship program, will receive funding to conduct their proposed research at PNNL for the next two to three years. "We believe strongly in building the next generation of scientists and in advancing the frontiers of science," said Steven Ashby, deputy director for science and technology at PNNL. "I'm pleased we'll be able to expose these scientists to the unique capabilities, instrumentation, and experts at PNNL while we also learn from their new ideas." PNNL created the Pacific Northwest Distinguished Post-Doctoral Fellowship in 2009 to attract outstanding researchers and build the future of scientific leadership for the Laboratory. Another fellowship position will be offered in Spring 2010. Read the complete news release.
