Nestled on 6,800 acres in the beautiful Fox Valley, Fermilab's campus setting offers an informal and stimulating environment with a long history and promising future committed to education, the environment and, of course, world-leading research in particle physics. Join the excitement that comes from discovering the mysteries of the universe!

We asked our employees to tell us how they feel about working at Fermilab:

"Lots of personal growth in areas that really matter to me. Team based efforts. Good people. Exciting work that moves the human race forward."

"My job here is like no other that I've ever had. I feel the sense of community here."

"I love the site location itself. Not many people can come to work in a resort like setting with breath taking views of trees lakes and wildlife in the middle of the urban sprawl. I also enjoy the family friendly environment, the people I work with and the great benefits."

"The open and casual environment is stimulating to thought and innovation. The freedom to pursue new ideas and to try new things gives you a sense of purpose and allows you to develop you talents."

"Being able to bicycle on roads during lunch that have very few cars on them. The scenery, the open space, bird watching. The vacation time and the 403(b) retirement plan."

"Diversity - in people, cultures, and opportunities."

"Fermilab isn't just for physicists. The Lab provides opportunities for everyone- engineers, chemists, accountants, ........."

"Opportunity to innovate. Given responsibility for seeing a job through to completion. Atmosphere of camaraderie."

"Good support at work for managing family responsibilities."

"Openness -- someone is always willing to teach you about something. Very interesting and intelligent people everywhere. Great health benefits."

"It is not a job, but an adventure."
