Work with us
Proposals submitted to the eBERlight call are open to scientists focusing on areas aligned with the DOE-BER mission. This includes biological, geological, geochemical and environmental sciences, to address existing and new scientific challenges.
When applying, look for the “eBERlight” call or include “eBERlight” in your proposal title. It is recommended to get in touch with the eBERlight team before proposal submission. Our team works closely with users to fulfill the APS/DOE requirements regarding operation, training, safety practices, and shipping of samples for experiments.
Feasibility studies
We offer beamtime for feasibility studies to interested researchers. This opportunity provides a unique chance to test experimental setups and gather information for full-scope beamtime proposal preparation.
APS
Researchers can access beamlines and other resources by registering with APS and submitting a proposal through the Universal Proposal System (UPS).
The APS User Checklist gives users step-by-step instructions.
Returning users should check the new procedures at the APS.
The Apply for Beam Time webpage provides all the necessary information for submitting a proposal and detailed instructions on how to use the UPS.
Strategic Partnerships
Partnerships are crucial to drive innovation and advance scientific research. The laboratory offers a wide range of solutions that leverage the state of the art facilities to create an effective and collaborative partnership for success. To discuss the benefits of working with us, contact eBERlight.
FICUS
We are partnering with several DOE-BER user facilities, including the Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory (EMSL) and Joint Genome Institute (JGI) via Facilities Integrating Collaborations for User Science (FICUS) program that provides access to several facilities.
