Jefferson Lab EIC Center Fellowships
APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN FOR 2022/23
The Electron-Ion Collider Center at Jefferson Lab is pleased to announce opportunities for graduate and post-doctoral fellowships.
These fellowships will be awarded for a period of one year to fund EIC related research, including innovations to maximize scientific output of the EIC and studies to expedite both scientific and experimental readiness for EIC operations. The areas of research include theory, simulations, detectors, and computing, and fellows are encouraged to spend at least half their fellowship year on site at Jefferson Lab. Each graduate fellowship will provide the awardee’s home institution with a $13,000 stipend. For postdoctoral fellows, $36,000 will be provided. Limited travel support is also available during the fellowship period. The awardee’s home institute must agree to provide the remaining support for the awardees.
Eligible students must be enrolled full-time in a relevant doctoral program. Postdocs must have a full-time position with a relevant university or laboratory research program. The awardees must devote at least half of their time for the proposed research during the fellowship period. The awardees may not concurrently hold another major full-time fellowship or internship. The award is limited to one year though awardees can reapply for an additional year.
To apply, a research plan for the duration of the fellowship must be provided according to the guidance provided below. The plan should be written by the applicant together with their university or laboratory advisor. The plan should contain clear goals and deliverable to be accomplished by the end of the Fellowship. Working with the staff of EIC group at JLab is encouraged. The EIC fellows are also expected to help organize the Early Career Workshops for the EIC User Group.
The applications will be evaluated by a committee according to the following criteria:
* Merit and quality of proposed research
* Relevance of the proposed research to the Electron-Ion Collider
* Likelihood that the proposed research can be successfully accomplished within the Fellowship period.
* Letters of recommendation.
The following application materials are due by 30 June 2020.
* Proposed research plan as described above. Maximum 3 pages with 11-point type.
* CV of the candidate
* Letters of recommendation
* Graduate Student applicant: One recommendation letter from their graduate research advisor.
* Post-doctoral applicant: One recommendation letter from their supervisor or sponsor, and at least one additional letter
The application materials must be sent by email to Jennifer Finch (finch at jlab.org<mailto:finch at jlab.org>) by the deadline.
The start date of the fellowship is a bit flexible; though projects typically start around the start of the US federal fiscal year in October.
