FAQ

Do I have to be a U.S. citizen to work at Berkeley Lab?

Many of our positions are eligible for visa sponsorship, unless otherwise stated in the job posting. For candidates that accept a Berkeley Lab job and require an employment visa, our International Researchers and Scholars Office (IRSO) will contact you for further information and guidance. In addition, given that Berkeley Lab is a U.S. Department of Energy contractor, some individuals may require additional review in accordance with Foreign Visits and Assignments.  

 

Do I need a security clearance to work at Berkeley Lab?

Most of our positions do not require security clearance, unless otherwise stated in the job posting.

 

Who should I address my cover letter to?

You may address your cover letter to the Hiring Manager or Search Committee.

 

Is there a way for me to see the status of my application?

You can check the status of your application by logging into https://jobs.lbl.gov and clicking on “My Submission.”

 

How can I best prepare for an interview?

It is encouraged that you make a copy of the job posting upon applying, so you can refer to the job description, as well as experience and qualifications we are seeking. This will then help you consider the  relevant experience you would like to share in the interview process. Some jobs may also require a presentation or seminar, especially for scientific and leadership positions.
