DOE Notes Task Force to Study Future Rôle of DOE Labs The Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) named eight members to a task force that will study the future rôle of DOE laboratories. According to Energy Secretary James D. Watkins, "Their review will help the department develop a set of 'guiding principles' to manage the DOE laboratory complex in a manner that will sustain its excellence as an intellectual resource for the nation well into the future." Task force members include W.R. Brinkman, executive director, researchphysics division, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NT; Timothy P. Coffey, director of research, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC; and John S. Poster Jr., member, board of directors, TRW Inc., Redondo Beach, CA, and chairman of the Défense Science Board. The task force will also include five SEAB members: Lew Allen Jr., director, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA; Edward A. Frieman, director, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA, and chair of the task force; Léon M. Lederman, director emeritus, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL; Michael May, director emeritus, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA; and John P. McTague, vice président, technical affairs, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, MI. Created in the spring of 1990, SEAB will conduct four studies over the next year, including the laboratory study. An intérim report on the laboratory study is due by May 1991 and a final report by October 1991.
Applications Sought for NRC Research Associateships The National Research Council is accepting applications for the 1991 Résident, Coopérative, and Postdoctoral Research Associateship Programs for research in the sciences and engineering. The research is to be conducted on behalf of 30 fédéral agencies or research institutions whose 115 participating research laboratories are located throughout the United States. The programs provide opportunities for PhD scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability to perform research on problems largely of their own choosing yet compatible with the research interests of the sponsoring laboratory. Initiated in 1954, the Associateship Programs hâve contributed to the career development of over 7,000 scientists ranging from récent PhD récipients to distinguished senior scientists. MRS BULLETIN/JANUARY1991
Approximately 450 new full-time Associateships will be awarded on a compétitive basis in 1991 for research in chemistry; earth and atmospheric sciences; engineering and applied sciences; biological, health, and behavioral sciences and bio-
technology; mathematics; space and planetary sciences; and physics. Most programs are open to both U.S. and nonU.S. nationals, and to both récent PhD degree récipients and senior investigators. Awards are made for one or two years,
