  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Commends lab’s research program, discusses progress in advancing science

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Secretary of Energy Rick Perry on Feb. 21 visited the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab), one of the nation’s premier national laboratories for nuclear physics research and accelerator science.
