Jefferson Lab

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, located in NewportNews, Virginia, is operated by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC for theDepartment of Energy’s Office of Science. The primary mission of the labis to explore the fundamental nature of confined states of quarks andgluons, including the nucleons that comprise the mass of the visibleuniverse. Jefferson Lab is also a world-leader in the development of thesuperconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology utilized for the lab'sContinuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). This technologyis the basis for an increasing array of applications at Jefferson Lab,other DOE labs, and in the international scientific community. Jefferson Lab has more than 700 full-time employees and an internationalscientific user community of more than 1,300 researchers whose work hasresulted in scientific data from 175 experiments to date. Research atJefferson Lab also contributes to thesis research material for aboutone-third of all U.S. Ph.D.s awarded annually in Nuclear Physics. TheLab's outstanding science education programs for K-12 students,undergraduates and teachers build critical knowledge and skills in thephysical sciences that are needed to solve many of the nation's futurechallenges.Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate in hiring or employment on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, disability or veteran status or on any other basis prohibited by federal, state, or local law.
