Argonne offers a variety of research appointments, cooperative education opportunities, and specialized schools to fit the needs – and schedules – of any graduate student. We encourage students pursuing a Master’s degree as well as Ph.D. candidates to check out the many opportunities we offer. Come to Argonne, expand and create new knowledge – and change your world. Programs include:

Graduate Research Program

Graduate Research Program (GRP) appointments are available to qualified U.S. and non-U.S. university graduate students who wish to carry out their thesis research at Argonne National Laboratory under the co-sponsorship of an Argonne staff member and a faculty member at the student’s home institution. Graduate Research appointments are three months to one year in length with the possibility of renewal. Appointees receive an hourly wage.

Graduate Temporary Employment

Our student employment programs offer temporary positions in both research and operations (non-research) areas. These positions can range from long-term to short-term, and both part-time and full-time. These opportunities become available throughout the year as new projects and funding arise. Students work as temporary employees and earn an hourly rate. These positions are considered jobs, and prior experience is recommended but not required.
