Brookhaven National Laboratory has announced the creation of a new fellowship program named after Nobel Laureate Raymond Davis Jr. This initiative is aimed at attracting early career scientists to the lab, with applications now open for its inaugural round.
The fellowship offers selected researchers an opportunity to work closely with a Brookhaven sponsor to explore their research interests. The program provides four-year research staff scientist positions, which include full benefits, a competitive salary, and additional funding for research support. The aim is to encourage fellows to pursue long-term careers at the laboratory, aligning with its mission as a Department of Energy national laboratory.
Candidates eligible for this fellowship are early career scientists who have completed at least two years of post-Ph.D. experience and have demonstrated potential in scientific fields relevant to Brookhaven's initiatives. Up to two fellows will be chosen during the selection process.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in a STEM field and should not be more than five years past their doctoral completion at the time of application. They must also show evidence of academic achievement and potential for leadership in technical and research domains that align with Brookhaven's goals.
Raymond Davis Jr., after whom the fellowship is named, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2002 for his work on detecting solar neutrinos while working as a chemist in Brookhaven's Chemistry Division.
