The Department of Physics at The University of Chicago invites applications for the 2022-2025 Quantum Fellowship. Candidates must be outstanding early-career scientists who will have received a doctoral degree in Physics or related fields by the fall of 2022. This three-year award carries a competitive salary and an allocation of $4,000 per year for research expenses. The purpose of this fellowship is to enable an early-career scientist in quantum science to work either independently or in close association with the members of the Physics Department and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering in areas of mutual interest. Appointment would be at the University internal rank of Postdoctoral Scholar. Please note that the position of Postdoctoral Scholar is open only to those individuals who are less than seven years beyond attainment of the Ph.D. degree. There are no teaching responsibilities with this position.

In addition, at least three letters of recommendation will be required from faculty members or senior research scientists who are active in the field of study in question.

To ensure full consideration, the required materials and the letters of reference must be received by October 15, 2021. Contact quantum-fellow@hep.uchicago.edu with any questions.
