About us
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, located in Newport News, Virginia, is operated by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. The primary mission of the lab is to explore the fundamental nature of confined states of quarks and gluons, including the nucleons that comprise the mass of the visible universe. Jefferson Lab is also a world-leader in the development of the superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology utilized for the lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). This technology is the basis for an increasing array of applications at Jefferson Lab, other DOE labs, and in the international scientific community. The DOE recently announced the selection of Jefferson Lab as the lead for its new High Performance Data Facility Hub. The HPDF will be a $300-500 million computing and data infrastructure resource that will provide transformational capabilities for data analysis, networking and storage for the nation’s research enterprise. It will provide researchers with tools, methods and technologies to maximize the scientific value of data. Jefferson Lab has more than 700 full-time employees and an international scientific user community of more than 1,300 researchers whose work has resulted in scientific data from 175 experiments to date. Research at Jefferson Lab also contributes to thesis research material for about one-third of all U.S. Ph.D.s awarded annually in Nuclear Physics. The Lab's outstanding science education programs for K-12 students, undergraduates and teachers build critical knowledge and skills in the physical sciences that are needed to solve many of the nation's future challenges.

Jefferson Lab's science education manager, Lisa Surles-Law, recently participated in a leadership panel hosted by William & Mary for educators across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Panelists shared their professional roles in the community, anecdotes about their own mentors and sources of inspiration, and, most importantly, how they equip students with the 'durable skills' they need to succeed post-graduation. The annual SURN Leadership Conference, with its focus on these essential skills, brought educators and industry leaders together to learn, reflect and plan for the future. Learn how we're helping students develop critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills essential for the modern workforce. https://bit.ly/3VwWQFK

Jefferson Lab unveiled Virginia’s newest LOVEwork at Open House! The larger-than-life art was designed and crafted by a team of more than a dozen JLab staff members and is one of more than 300 giant LOVE letters, called LOVEworks, in towns and cities across the commonwealth. The art installation is also a testament to the lab’s commitment to partnering with other national labs, reducing its environmental impact by reusing scientific equipment, and educating future scientists in the science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) disciplines. https://lnkd.in/e7baQ_Zw
