Call for Summer 2025 is now open!
Fall - Spring 2025 call opens in late-March 2025
Our Faculty Mini-Sabbatical Program is designed to bring top academic talent from colleges and universities across the world to the Laboratory for one- to three-month visits to exchange knowledge and build partnerships. This program provides an excellent opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and the development of new collaborations. Please note that it is not intended to provide direct support for specific research activities. Successful faculty applicants will be hired into the Laboratory’s existing Faculty Employee (FS) category through their host organization and can receive salary of $14,500/month (this includes 2k to help offset housing costs). Travel costs, which include 1 RT airfare or mileage in accordance with LLNL travel policy, are covered by the hosting organization. The faculty member is expected to be onsite during their sabbatical.
There are two application periods throughout the year; one for summer and one for fall through spring. The Summer call opens in early-November and the Fall/Spring opens in late-April. Selected faculty for this call will begin sabbatical between May to September.
