The Argonne Named Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

Argonne National Laboratory is accepting applications for the 2014 Named Postdoctoral Fellowship. Argonne awards these special postdoctoral fellowships internationally on an annual basis to outstanding doctoral-level scientists and engineers who are at early points in promising careers.  The fellowships are named after scientific and technical luminaries who have been associated with Argonne and its predecessors, and the University of Chicago, since the 1940’s. Candidates for these fellowships must display superb ability in scientific or engineering research, and must show definite promise of becoming outstanding leaders in the research they pursue.  Fellowships are awarded annually and may be renewed up to three years. The 2014 fellowship carries a stipend of $80,000 per annum with an additional allocation of up to $20,000 per annum for research support and travel. The deadline for submission of application materials is October 15, 2013. Applicants should identify an Argonne staff member to sponsor the nomination. The sponsor could be someone who is already familiar with your research work and accomplishments through previous collaborations or professional societies.  If you have not yet identified an Argonne sponsor, visit the detailed websites of the various Research Programs and Research Divisions at www.anl.gov. Applications must be submitted online through: www.anl.gov/careers. Correspondence and supporting letters of recommendation should be submitted to Named-Postdoc@anl.gov.
