This year the JSA Initiatives Fund has again sponsored the JSA
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.
The Fellowship competition is run by the Users Group Board of Directors,
with the intention of
honoring our finest postdocs.
The ground rules are:
* All entries must be emailed to harris@jlab.org
<mailto:harris@jlab.org> by December 1, 2008.
* All nominees must be within 5 years of graduation, and in a
postdoc or equivalent position at the time of nomination. You do
not have to be an experimental postdoc working at a university to
apply - JLab and theory postdocs are also eligible to apply. Previous
winners are not eligible to apply.
* Entries should include a research statement (3 page limit) and CV
by the nominee, along with three letters of reference. The
research statement should describe past work and future plans and
should include a preliminary budget. All materials may be emailed
in separately.
* The competition will be judged by the Users Group Board of
Directors.
* The basis for picking the top candidate includes a record of
accomplishment in physics, a planned high-impact Jefferson Lab
physics program, proposed use of the research grant, and promise
of further accomplishments in the Jefferson Lab research fields in
the future.
* The Fellowship will be in the form of a research grant.
