This application is for UNIVERSITY employees applying for a Joint Appointment at Argonne. For Argonne employees, reference the Joint Appointment page on myargonne.

The objectives of Argonne National Laboratory’s Joint Appointment (JA) Program are to:

• Promote research and collaboration in areas aligned with the scientific and technical priorities of Argonne and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
• Facilitate the building of world-class research programs by maximizing the unique intellectual and physical resources of both Argonne and partner universities
• Establish a network and an exchange of knowledge to enhance the intellectual vitality and research impact of Argonne and partner universities
• Increase synergies between DOE and academic programs

A Joint Appointee remains an employee of their home institution while contributing to the mission of both Argonne and the university.

There are two types of Joint Appointments:

FUNDED JA

• The appointee has obtained written agreement from the host Argonne division to reimburse a portion of the appointee’s effort to the university.

• Example: the appointee is actively participating on a research project at Argonne.

NON-FUNDED JA

• There is no reimbursable effort occurring as part of the JA

• Example: the reason for the JA includes establishing a professional network, accessing unique resources, participating on committees, and/or research-based collaboration in anticipation of participating on a research project.
