Careers at National Laboratories

It’s common for math majors and professors to be aware of possible careers outside of teaching, especially jobs like data science, finance, actuarial science, and some government agencies. But from my experience talking with undergraduates, graduate students, and professors in mathematics, careers at national laboratories are not as well-known. It’s my goal in this article to give you some background and history of the national lab system, a glimpse into the work mathematicians do, and finally some insight into getting a job at a national lab.
