<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">I am pleased to announce that Joshua Frieman will join SLAC as our new associate laboratory director (ALD) for the Fundamental Physics Directorate (FPD), effective April 28. Josh will provide strategic,
scientific and operational leadership for FPD as we drive innovation and excellence in fundamental physics research.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">In this role, Josh will lead our Physics of the Universe strategy to meet national priorities as outlined in the latest Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) Report and Nuclear Science Advisory
Committee Long Range Plan. He will steward the completion of ongoing projects like the commissioning of the LSST Camera at the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, while leading community engagement efforts and working with our national and international partners
to enable the next generation of projects that seek to answer fundamental questions about our universe at the smallest and largest scales. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Josh brings a distinguished record of achievement in fundamental physics and cosmology. He earned his bachelor’s degree, with honors, in physics from Stanford University and his PhD in physics from the
University of Chicago (UChicago). He was a postdoctoral research associate in the SLAC Theory Group before joining the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at Fermilab. He has served in a number of leadership roles at Fermilab, UChicago and elsewhere, including
as head of Fermilab’s Particle Physics Division and most recently as chair of the Astronomy & Astrophysics Department at UChicago. His leadership of the Dark Energy Survey and his contributions to major projects such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey underscore
his ability to drive transformative scientific programs.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
