SLAC Job Postings
The Alonzo W.
Ashley Fellowship Program was named in honor of Al Ashley, who retired from SLAC in 1999 after 31 years of dedicated and exemplary service, particularly in the area of championing diversity in the sciences and engineering.
During his tenure at SLAC, Al pioneered programs that promoted diversity and encouraged career development for employees and career exploration for talented students.
He was a recipient of a 2005 NSF Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring in recognition of his outstanding mentoring efforts and programs that enhanced the participation of historically underrepresented groups in science, mathematics, and engineering.
Al served as a mentor to hundreds of emerging scientists and engineers during their journey to their chosen fields.
The program is intended for underrepresented post-graduate candidates with the longer-term objective of potentially moving them into regular employment with the lab.
Note: This is a 12-month fixed term position with the possibility of extension or conversion to a regular- continuing position.
Assignment duration is contingent upon project needs and funding.
