Overview

Description

The Wilson Fellowship is a tenure track program aimed at physicists of exceptional talent with post-doctoral work experience. The fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis and support physicists early in their careers by providing unique opportunities for self-directed research in experimental physics. Fellows will work on the Fermilab particle physics experiment of their choice. The Fermilab experimental program includes collider physics at both the Tevatron and LHC, studies of neutrino and astroparticle physics, as well as R&D for future colliders and high intensity beams.

Eligibility

The successful candidate will be a Ph.D.physicists of exceptional talent with at least two years of post-doctoral experience.

Term of Appointment

The appointment is for an initial term of three years at an annual salary fully competitive with university assistant professorships. The fellowship can be renewed for an additional two years upon the completion of a successful review process during the third year. The Fellowship will be followed by consideration for an appointment without term as a Scientist at Fermilab.
