Senior Research Fellows

Recognizing worldwide leaders in scientific and technical achievement

PNNL researchers affect the scientific community in ways that only a select few can, earning worldwide recognition for their leadership and research efforts. For this reason, PNNL reserves the distinction of fellow for those who have truly reached the highest levels of scientific achievement.

PNNL bestows the title of Laboratory Fellow or Battelle Fellow upon those who have reached the top of their field, earned international recognition from peers, and consistently demonstrated creativity and leadership in their work. Fellows lead multi-disciplinary teams across an expanse of laboratories, develop programs that enhance PNNL’s scientific portfolio, and foster collaboration between the lab and outside experts.

Laboratory Fellows

Laboratory Fellows have established renown while sustaining research and development projects of the highest quality throughout their careers, and peers have validated the quality and impact of this work. A Laboratory Fellow serves as a scientific and technical advisor to their respective directorate's management team, and is relied upon to develop cross-directorate science and technology strategies. The PNNL Director appoints Laboratory Fellows based on recommendations of a review committee of Laboratory Fellows representing all research directorates. About 3 percent of PNNL's researchers currently hold this rank.

Battelle Fellows

Battelle Fellows have made contributions that dramatically affect the conduct of their fields. They are recognized authorities who have far-reaching impacts. The PNNL Director recommends Battelle Fellows, following consultation with fellows presently holding the same rank, and the president of Battelle Memorial Institute appoints them. Less than half a percent of PNNL's researchers currently hold this rank.
