But you can only work for these labs if you're a US citizen, am I right? :) Also are there any such labs or outposts in Hawaii? Would be a great beautiful place

You need to get security clearance for most roles - even a joint citizenship may be problematic: Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted. Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

  Is that true for all national labs or just Sandi/all DoE labs? Also, where did you copy paste this from!!? :)

  I work at Berkeley Lab and there are tons of internationals here. I think it differs between labs - just an hour away at the Livermore Lab there are a lot fewer internationals because of what they do. We don't do anything classified and this lab hands out visas like they're candy.

Sandia has a site on Kauai, but it's for very specific purposes: https://www.sandia.gov/locations/kauai-test-facility/ https://www.sandia.gov/locations/kauai-test-facility/

  Cool, thanks! edit: wow from the looks of their capabilities that site seems like a mini NASA.
