Abstract

Information about the program: This program is a year-long paid fellowship program structured to promote awareness of professional opportunities in nonproliferation and to develop an exceptional talent pool that could aid the National Nuclear Security Administration in its national and international security work. NGP fellows work within NNSA's Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation on programs in support of detecting, preventing, and reversing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, while mitigating the risks of nuclear operations. The full-time program provides students with specialized, hands on training and practical experience on projects and initiatives over the course of the year, enabling participants to gain valuable experience with government agencies, national laboratories, and non-governmental organizations. Fellows work alongside senior NNSA officials and program managers, and opportunities within the USG are a possibility upon completion of their assignments. Applications for the 2009 program are currently being accepted and the application deadline is October 30. For more information about the program, students can go to http://ngp.pnl.gov.
