SSRL is a respectful place to do great science. We support diversity and inclusion, and we encourage scientists from diverse fields to register on the user portal and submit proposals for experiments that utilize the unique capabilities at SSRL.
New proposals can be submitted throughout the year. Review instrument descriptions and contact SSRL scientists to discuss proposed experiments and available techniques. Contact us if you have questions or need assistance.
Acknowledge SSRL and contact us when exciting research results are about to be published so we can work together to communicate user news to a broader audience through our newsletters and science highlights.
