Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.

Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
