Oak Ridge National Laboratory seeks applicants for its most prestigious Eugene P. Wigner Fellowship Program, established in 1975 to honor the Nobel Laureate (1963) and first Director of Research and Development at ORNL (1946-47).

The Wigner Fellowship provides an opportunity for outstanding new life, physical, computer, computational, and social scientists and engineers and applied scientists from around the world.  It enables them to select and pursue fundamental or applied research in areas of global interest. It also offers competitive salary and benefits.

Fellows must be exceedingly well qualified, be no more than three years beyond the doctorate, and have not engaged in more than one post-doctoral position.

Since 1975, ORNL has attracted over 70 outstanding young scientists through this two-year Fellowship, which offers a unique early-career opportunity at the Department of Energy’s largest and most diverse science and energy Laboratory.

Two-thirds of those awarded Fellowships continue to pursue ongoing research of national and international importance at ORNL in highly diverse fields. The other third are still providing outstanding service to ORNL, some at the highest levels of leadership.

The Laboratory has eight Fellows in residence and will support nine Fellows in 2006 and ten in 2007. As current Fellows rotate out, about 4-5 new Fellows are selected throughout the year. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
