Intensity Frontier Fellowship (AJO-10077) - Visiting Scientist at Fermilab

We seek researchers with a doctorate in particle or nuclear physics or a related field who will use the resources available at Fermilab to make a major contribution to the Intensity Frontier in the areas of physics analysis of experiments, development of relevant particle physics theory, or development of future projects. The Fellowship provides an outstanding opportunity for young scientists to develop an independent research program.

Successful candidates will be resident at Fermilab for 50% or more of the duration of the Fellowship.

• Term: 6 months to 1 year, starting no earlier than April 2, 2018.
• Renewable to maximum of 2 years, with new proposal.
• Financial support: up to 50% of researcher's total current compensation, reimbursed to the researcher's home institution, with remainder of salary paid by researcher's home institution. Please note that overhead/indirect costs cannot be paid to universities, since the work proposed will be done at Fermilab.
• Candidates must be employed by a U.S. or non-U.S. institution. Retirees and Fermilab employees are not eligible.
• Awards may include a travel budget to enable regular trips to remote experimental locations when appropriate, and to conferences to present work.
• A financial plan and a travel plan must be included with all applications.
• A brief summary of the proposed research should be included in addition to the full research plan.
• Contact information for a financial contact officer at the home institution must be provided if salary support is requested.
• Applicants should indicate the dates of current and expected term of employment.
• At least two letters of support should be uploaded by letter-writers in the reference letters section.

There is no legal requirement that Fermilab sponsor an employee for U.S. permanent residence. As a result, Fermilab will make the decision to sponsor an employee on a case-by-case basis. Fermilab will consider the following factors, among others, when determining whether to sponsor an employee for U.S. permanent residence: performance, length of service, long-term need for the position, and cost.

Diverse people. Diverse jobs. Great science.
