We proudly support veterans, transitioning military, and military reservists of the U.S. armed forces as they pursue a career with the Los Alamos National Laboratory.  Our engaged and responsive employee resource group and Office of Diveristy guide individuals through the transition from military to civilian employment.  

We conduct regular outreach in our local and national veteran community, making sure interested candidates know their options at the Lab.  We are seeking mission oriented individuals and we thrive when great employees have found a sense of mission in working with us.
