Goldhaber Distinguished Fellowships
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has created the Gertrude and Maurice Goldhaber Distinguished Fellowships Program with funding from Battelle Memorial Institute and Stony Brook University, partners in Brookhaven Science Associates. These prestigious Fellowships are awarded to candidates with exceptional talent and credentials who have a strong desire for independent research at the frontiers of their fields. The fellowships are three-year appointments and carry a starting salary of USD75,000 per annum. The fellowship program also provides a modest amount of independent funds for materials and supplies. Candidates should be at a maximum three years past receipt of the Ph.D. at the time of the application. The intention of the program is to select individuals who will qualify for scientific staff positions at BNL upon completion of the appointment. BNL, as a multidisciplinary laboratory, is dedicated to the advancement of physics, chemistry, and biology and to medical, energy, nano and environmental sciences, and in the utilization of user facilities that include accelerators for particles, heavy ions and synchrotron light. Consideration will be given to excellent candidates with training in any discipline pertinent to these missions of the Laboratory. Goldhaber appointees will work in close collaboration with a member of the BNL Scientific staff. Applicants must identify and contact a sponsoring mentor and request a signed letter of sponsorship approved by the Chair of the sponsoring Department. Candidates seeking to pursue and apply for this unique opportunity can do so online at http://www.bnl.gov/HR/Careers/ (Job I.D. 14370).

announced in April 2012. To host a Goldhaber Fellow the sponsoring scientist must have an opening and be able to support the candidate at the standard starting salary for Postdoctoral Research Associates for a period of three years; the fellowship program will provide the additional funds to bring the salary up to the stated level and also provide a modest amount of independent funds for material and supplies. Presently there are funds for two positions. All BNL scientists are encouraged to seek candidates to pursue this unique opportunity. The complete application consists of a letter of intent outlining the candidate's research interests, a CV, a list of publications, three letters of support from referees familiar with their work, along with a letter from the prospective BNL mentor (< 2 pages) that is approved by the mentor’s Department Chair. The prospective mentor’s letter should state the candidate’s qualifications and their match to BNL’s S&T portfolio, and touch on possible career pathways for the candidate at the Lab. BNL is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to the development of a diverse workforce.
