The Lederman Fellowship at Fermilab is intended to attract exceptional postdoctoral candidates who have demonstrated outstanding ability in research and who, in addition, have a strong interest in education and outreach. Lederman Fellows are free to choose any area in Fermilab's broad experimental program for performing their research, including neutrino physics, research on the CMS experiment at the LHC and proposed future colliders, astroparticle physics, intensity frontier experiments such as Mu2e, quantum information science, and quantum sensor research. In recognition of Leon Lederman’s commitment to the teaching of physics at all levels, Fellows are also expected to participate for a fraction of their time in education. An example would be the Saturday Morning Physics program or other outreach. Candidates not selected for the Lederman Fellowship may be considered for other Research Associate opportunities at Fermilab. 

The Lederman Fellowship is a 3-year appointment with the possibility for an extension of up to two (2) additional years. 

Qualifications and essential job functions: 

Interested candidates should submit via Academic Jobs Online https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/fellowship/30895 1) cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) research statement, 4) outreach statement, and 5) three or more reference letters (to be submitted by the reference writers at the AJO site).
