Fellowship Opportunities in Theoretical Particle Physics and Theoretical Astrophysics

Fermilab announces fellowships for graduate students at U.S. universities who are in the research phase of graduate study in theoretical particle physics or theoretical astrophysics. These fellowships will last for 12 months, generally starting in the Fall. They will carry a competitive stipend as well as allowances for travel and (reduced) tuition. Fellows will remain matriculated at their home universities but be in residence at Fermilab.

To be eligible, prospective fellows must identify a Fermilab supervisor from the scientific staff of either the Theoretical Physics Department or Theoretical Astrophysics Department. These departments offer strong and exciting research opportunities in collider physics, model building, neutrino physics, perturbative QCD, lattice gauge theory, astrophysics, and cosmology. The research environment at Fermilab, while theoretically rigorous, is nourished by close connections with the laboratory's experimental programs.

Deadline: 4/06/2012

Eligibility: Citizens of all nations are welcome to apply, but if you are not a US citizen, you must have a valid visa. In all cases, applicants must be PhD students at a US university.

Stipend: $30,000, supplemented by a travel allowance of up to $4000 (to cover the move to Fermilab and conference attendance), and an allowance of up to $3000 for health insurance, if needed.
