PNNL UW Dual Appointments

Overview

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the University of Washington (UW) and have a long history of collaboration. This dual appointment mechanism allows for formal recognition and cross-fertilization of scientific collaboration between the two institutions. To this end, PNNL and UW developed three agreements that establish affiliate dual appointments between the two institutions. This opportunity is open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.

PNNL and the UW use the dual appointment offer letter to establish the appointment and collaboration. Any funded effort is managed via another contract.
