Organization

The National MagLab is structured to ensure scientific and technological excellence across all levels of the organization.

How is the world's largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory led and governed? The National MagLab is jointly operated for the National Science Foundation by Florida State University, the University of Florida and Los Alamos National Laboratory (with sites at each of those locations) under a cooperative agreement that establishes the lab's goals and objectives.

Lab leadership works collaboratively with lab wide support teams and user facilities to support and advance the mission of the National MagLab. Scientific direction is overseen by an internal Science Council. External committees, including a Users Committee, External Advisory Committee, and Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Committee provide advice on issues that are critical to the successful management of the lab.
