CAMM Training Pathways
From research onboarding to independent scientific leadership.
CAMM prepares trainees to move from research orientation into collaborative research, scientific communication, proposal development, mentoring, and career preparation.
Training connects experiment, computation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, quantum materials, and fusion-relevant materials research.
Education & Outreach Overview

Research-to-Career Pipeline
CAMM training supports each stage of trainee development
01
Research onboarding
Trainees learn lab procedures, safety, documentation, data practices, computational workflows, and responsible research expectations.
02
Artificial intelligence and data skills
Training emphasizes reproducible workflows, secure computational practices, machine-learning tools, and artificial-intelligence-ready materials data.
03
Communication
Trainees develop manuscripts, posters, oral presentations, peer review responses, seminars, workshops, and conference presentations.
04
Proposal preparation
Postdoctoral researchers, and where appropriate graduate students, participate in proposal planning, literature review, preliminary data development, and technical writing.
05
Teaching and mentoring
Trainees build mentoring skills through coursework support, guest lectures, lab training, undergraduate supervision, outreach, and Center programs.
06
Career pathways
CAMM exposes trainees to academic, national laboratory, industry, government, and science-adjacent pathways.
