The fifth OSELP Cohort consists of 33 individuals representing all 17 of the DOE National Labs.
The Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program (OSELP) is pleased to announce the selection of Fellows for the 2022 Cohort. Established in 2017, OSELP is a distinguished Fellowship Program that brings together exceptional leaders to explore the complexities, challenges and opportunities facing the National Lab system and the Department of Energy (DOE).
The fifth OSELP Cohort consists of 33 individuals representing all 17 of the DOE National Labs, with professional backgrounds spanning technical, operational, and strategic domains. Selection as an Oppenheimer Fellow is a highly competitive process. Candidates are nominated by National Lab Directors, assessed by a committee of former National Lab Directors and former senior DOE officials, and accepted into the program by the National Laboratory Directors’ Council (NLDC).
As the premier leadership development program of the NLDC, the Oppenheimer program is building the National Lab leaders of tomorrow. Through an extensive series of virtual and in-person site visits to National Labs, OSELP immerses its Fellows in the singular breadth, diversity, and complexity of the National Labs, DOE, and their partners, providing them with a unique opportunity to engage deeply with senior National Lab leadership and explore innovative ways to improve the DOE and National Lab collective enterprise.
Throughout the program OSELP Fellows benefit from the experience and advice of program mentors who are drawn from former Lab Directors, former senior DOE officials, and other highly distinguished professionals. Engagement with these senior leaders is expected to have a transformative impact on the perspectives and career trajectories of Cohort members.
Throughout the year, the Fellows develop think-pieces that address major organizational, policy, scientific, or other challenges within National Labs’ mission space. Think-pieces are presented to the NLDC and other senior leaders at a capstone event that closes the program in December in Washington, D.C.
Names and affiliations of Cohort 5 members and mentors are provided below. Professor Kevin Doran serves as the Program Director. Inquires about the program should be directed to Professor Doran at dorank@colorado.edu.
