Overview
Description
The Lederman Fellowship was created with the goal of attracting at Fermilab
Postdoctoral candidates who have demonstrated outstanding ability in research
and who in addition have a strong interest in education and outreach.
Appointments are awarded on a competitive basis from among the applicants
for first Postdoctoral appointments in experimental physics at Fermilab.
Lederman Fellows have a choice among experiments, which include Tevatron and
LHC collider experiments, neutrino experiments, other fixed target experiments
and astroparticle physics experiments, or research on accelerators. In recognition of Leon M. Lederman's commitment to the teaching of physics at all
levels, Fellows participate in the "Saturday Morning Physics" program or an
equivalent educational or outreach program.
Eligibilty
Candidates must either:
- Have obtained a Ph.D. in experimental particle or accelerator
physics after approximately a year before the deadline for accepting applications.
or
- Are expected to obtain a Ph.D. in experimental particle or accelerator physics within
approximately six months from the deadline for accepting applications.
Details will be specified in the Advertisement when a new opening becomes available.
Term of Appointment
The term is for three years with the possibility of an extension.
