Princeton
Fellowships in Experimental Physics. (PFEP)
The Princeton University Department of Physics invites faculty and
senior researchers within the international physics community to submit
nominations for Princeton Fellowships in Experimental Physics (PFEP).
Appointments start in September 2008.
The Department aims to recruit and support exceptional recent PhD
recipients in experimental physics through a three-year honorific
postdoctoral fellowship program. Nominees from all areas of
experimental physics will be considered and selected through an annual
competition. The selected fellows are expected to interact with the
existing experimental groups in the department, although those who wish
to pursue a specific independent research program will also be
considered. Princeton has experimental research programs in Atomic
Physics, Biophysics, Cosmology & Gravitation, Condensed Matter Physics,
High Energy Physics, and Particle Astrophysics.
This year the Physics Department will select two fellows with an annual
salary of $60,000/year for a period of up to three years. We anticipate
reaching a steady state of six fellows. One of the fellows will be
selected as a Dicke Fellow, in recognition of the late Princeton
physicist Robert Dicke. In addition to salary and benefits, the program
will provide a discretionary fund of $6,600/year.
To nominate someone, visit the web site
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/~nominate/app_nomination_1.php.
Each
applicant should
arrange for three letters of recommendation (one of which can be the
nominator's letter), a CV, and a research proposal. This year's
nomination deadline was December 1, 2007; the deadline for the receipt
of all materials was December 31, 2007. Deadline passed, nominations are no longer
being accepted.
The selected fellows must have received a doctoral degree in physics or
related field by September 1, 2008 (prior to the start of their
fellowship). Princeton is an equal-opportunity affirmative-action
employer and particularly welcomes nominations of women and members of
underrepresented minority groups. Candidates nominated for the PFEP will also be considered for other
postdoctoral positions in the Physics Department unless we are requested
not to do so.
Sincerely,
Daniel Marlow
