Overview
Description
The Lederman Fellowship at Fermilab
is intended to attract Postdoctoral candidates who have demonstrated outstanding ability in research
and who in addition have a strong interest in education and outreach.
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.
Eligibility
Candidates should either:
- Have obtained a Ph.D. in experimental particle or accelerator
physics not more than a year before the deadline for accepting applications.
or
- Expect to obtain a Ph.D. in experimental particle or accelerator physics within
approximately 6 months after 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.
