  • The JSA Classification Matrices are the basis for determining the appropriate category for Lab positions. In assigning a position to a specific class, multiple factors are assessed in a consistent fashion as documented in the Matrices.  Positions are evaluated based on factors such as: the scope of the position; the levels of independent action; problem solving; judgment and initiative exercised in performing the work; reporting relationships; the impact of errors; the nature of personal contacts; supervisory responsibility; and knowledge, experience, and skills required.

  • Student Internship Program

    The student intern program at Jefferson Lab is intended to benefit the student through exposure to the technical and business environment of our facility. Therefore, it is important that the student enjoy a great deal of interaction with his/her supervisor and other experienced staff members.

    Requirements for consideration include:

  • The above link will lead you to the upcoming theory and cake seminars, as well as to the archives of previous seminars.

  • The calendar for Jefferson Lab’s popular field trip program has now been posted.

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Discover why the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is a popular field trip destination for students in Hampton Roads and the surrounding areas. Registration is now open for the laboratory’s full calendar of free Physics Fest events taking place during the 2018-2019 school year.

  • Joel Dolbeck picture

    From Coast Guard to National Lab, Dolbeck is laser focused on mission results. Years in the Coast Guard prepared Joel Dolbeck for handling missions, from engineering storm-ready buildings to managing emergency response teams. Now, Dolbeck is looking forward to solving the missions of Jefferson Lab. 

  • Young Researcher Awarded Funds from European Union for International Research

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Andrea Signori, a Jefferson Lab postdoc in the Theory Center was recently awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (MSCA) through the European Commission, the executive of the European Union. The MSCA allow researchers to conduct research across international boundaries. Signori’s proposal was one of 1348 selected for funding out of 9089 proposals submitted to the program, designed “to create a game-changing impact on our society and economy.”

  • Most of us walk around with a smart phone, but I bet it’s news to many that the tools first built to understand the workings of the nucleus of the atom, the same tools used here at Jefferson Lab, became the tools to ultimately create smart phones (and more). Having my smartphone is great; it helps me get through my busy day. It lets me stay in touch with my family, and gives me the ability to me check my email on the go. I can text the dog sitter, take pictures and share them on social media, and so on and so on.

  • Protons appear to get extra pep in their step when they’re outnumbered by neutrons in the atom’s nucleus.

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – A new study carried out at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has confirmed that increasing the number of neutrons as compared to protons in the atom’s nucleus also increases the average momentum of its protons. The nuclear physics result, which has implications for the dynamics of neutron stars, has been published in the journal Nature.
