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.
- graderjs 4y agoIs that true for all national labs or just Sandi/all DoE labs? Also, where did you copy paste this from!!? :)

- graderjs 4y agoAh, yes, I see, for instance, under: "R&D Nuclear Engineering (Experienced)", https://sandia.jobs/albuquerque-nm/rd-nuclear-engineering-experienced/1991D9B591714425A9CF5F0DA184FBF9/job/ https://sandia.jobs/albuquerque-nm/rd-nuclear-engineering-ex... It looks like the exact text of your copy above: 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.

- totagodo 4y agoI 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.
