Great experience overall - Intern Smithsonian Employee Review

Strong resources and a collaborative culture. Flexible mentorship and the freedom to explore diverse methods and research directions make this an extremely motivating environment to grow as a postdoc and, most importantly, as an independent researcher.

Amazing mission-driven organization; wanted to create a positive experience for all staff and visitors.

Long commuting distance; inflexible telework
