Grainger Postdoctoral Fellowship
in Experimental Physics

The Physics Department at the University of Chicago invites colleagues to submit nominations for the 2006-2008 Grainger Fellowship in Experimental Physics. Nominees must be outstanding young scientists who will have received a doctoral degree in Physics, Astronomy or related fields by the fall of 2006. This two-year award carries an annual stipend of $52,500, an allocation of up to $6,000 each year for research expenses, health insurance, and up to $1,000 for relocation expenses. The purpose of this fellowship is to enable a young experimentalist to work either independently or in close association with the members of the Physics Department in areas of mutual interest.

The Physics Department's main experimental activities lie in the following areas:

• Elementary particle physics
• High energy astrophysics and space physics
• Ground-based astrophysics and infrared astronomy
• Condensed matter physics
• Complex fluids and nonlinear dynamics
• Atomic Physics
• Electron and ion microscopy
• Biophysics

In order to be considered for this two-year fellowship, a letter of nomination is requested for each candidate. Nominated candidates should arrange for the following materials to be sent to the Fellowship Committee, Department of Physics, 5720 South Ellis Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637 before December 1, 2005:

• Curriculum vitae
• List of publications and preprints
• Description of research interests to be pursued at The University of Chicago
• Names of two scientists (in addition to the nominator) asked by the candidate to supply supporting letters (Their letters should be sent directly to the Committee by December 1, 2005.)

Inquiries may be directed to Mrs. Plitt, p-plitt@uchicago.edu. However, applications and letters must be sent in hardcopy.
