[Cuga] Applications now being accepted for Perimeter Scholars International- a message from James Forrest

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleague,

Each year, Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics recruits 
approximately 30 exceptional science graduates for an immersive, 
10-month physics boot camp: Perimeter Scholars International (PSI) 
<http://link.perimeterinstitute.ca/c/306/542a1ac96b8676b2cf91c50013dae2504e5f1096466c9f2a4351016c9c073c03>. 
This unique Master’s program seeks not only students with stellar 
undergraduate physics track records, but also those with diverse 
backgrounds, collaborative spirit, creativity, and other attributes that 
will set them apart as future innovators.

Features of the program include:

  * All student costs (tuition and living) are covered, removing
    financial and/or geographical barriers to entry
  * Students learn from world-leading theoretical physicists – resident
    Perimeter researchers and visiting scientists – within the inspiring
    environment of Perimeter Institute
  * Collaboration is valued over competition; deep understanding and
    creativity are valued over rote learning and examination
  * PSI recruits worldwide: 85 percent of students come from outside of
    Canada
  * PSI takes calculated risks, seeking extraordinary talent who may
    have non-traditional academic backgrounds but have demonstrated
    exceptional scientific aptitude

PSI is now accepting applications for the class of 2017/18. Please help 
share this opportunity with colleagues, students, or groups who may be
