| Fermilab offers Intensity Frontier Fellowships to outstanding researchers in the areas of neutrino physics, muon physics, and other topics in the Intensity Frontier. Fellows will receive funding to allow enhanced participation in Fermilab experimental and data analysis efforts, in relevant areas of particle physics theory, or in future projects. The fellowships provide the ability for researchers to spend significant time at Fermilab, with the goal of expanding and sustaining an intellectual center of excellence within the laboratory and the department.
We seek researchers with a doctorate in particle or nuclear physics or a related field who will use the resources available at Fermilab to make a major contribution to the Intensity Frontier in the areas of physics analysis of experiments, development of relevant particle physics theory, or development of future projects. The Fellowship provides an outstanding opportunity for young scientists to develop an independent research program.
Successful candidates will be resident at Fermilab for 50% or more of the duration of the Fellowship.
- Term: 6 months to 1 year, starting no earlier than Dec. 2, 2019.
- Renewable to maximum of 2 years, with new proposal.
- Financial support: up to 50% of researcher's total current compensation, reimbursed to the researcher's home institution, with remainder of salary paid by researcher's home institution. Please note that overhead/indirect costs cannot be paid to universities, since the work proposed will be done at Fermilab.
- Candidates must be employed by a U.S. or non-U.S. institution. Retirees and Fermilab employees are not eligible.
- Awards may include a travel budget to enable regular trips to remote experimental locations when appropriate, and to conferences to present work.
- A financial plan and a travel plan must be included with all applications.
- A brief summary of the proposed research should be included in addition to the full research plan.
- Contact information for a financial contact officer at the home institution must be provided if salary support is requested.
- Applicants should indicate the dates of current and expected term of employment.
- At least two letters of support should be uploaded by letter-writers in the reference letters section.
