Description:

MCgen is inviting graduate students and junior postdocs based at a US institution to apply for 6 month long fellowships to work on projects related to Monte Carlo development relevant for particle or nuclear physics. The fellows will be based either at UC Berkeley or U. Cincinnati for the duration of the fellowships. The participants are not required to be US citizens.

Applicants are requested to submit a brief (1 page) description of their proposed research project/research interests, including the preferred host institution, their CV (including software experience), and two letters of recommendation, out of which one should be from the advisor. We will conduct video interviews with short-listed candidates. The selected candidates will be placed equally between the two institutions, based on their preferences, and will each be assigned a primary mentor.

Fellows will receive a stipend that will cover the relocation costs and the local living expenses (the stipends are cost-of-living adjusted, $23.5k/6 months for U. Cincinnati and $27.5k/6 months for UC Berkeley campus). Partial/additional support by their home institution is allowed, but not required. The host institute will provide office space and a working environment to collaborate on the selected project, with the fellows fully integrated in the activities of the respective groups.

Applications received by November 30th, 2024 will receive full consideration, while the positions will remain open until they are filled.
