Come Work at Berkeley Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area!
Berkeley Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) is at the crossroads of facing today’s challenges in creating a secure earth environment by pushing beyond the fundamental and applied sciences and developing technology and tools applicable for future research. Thriving in this environment demands new ideas, fresh thinking and individuals who want to make a difference any way they can. When you choose a career at Berkeley Lab you join a community.
Berkeley Lab was founded on the idea that pioneering science is best performed by multidisciplinary teams working together, and the concept of teamwork remains a vital component of daily life at the Lab. Scientists within EESA and its two Divisions (Climate and Ecosystem Sciences and Energy Geosciences) perform environmental and energy research through considering process interactions occurring within and across many Earth system compartments, and they are developing 21st century approaches and scientific understanding relevant to both energy and the environment.
As a collaborative organization EESA relies on individual contributions, strong partnerships, and teamwork to build scientific and operational excellence.
