About the Fellowship
The Department of Energy (DOE) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) sponsors the Gertrude and Maurice Goldhaber Distinguished Fellowships Program. 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 annual salary of $105,500.
Candidates seeking a Goldhaber Fellowship must have a commitment of support from a prospective mentor here at the Lab. Before an application is submitted, prospective mentors must have an opening and be able to support the candidate at the standard starting salary for postdoctoral research associates for three years. The Fellowship program provides the additional funds to increase the salary to the stated level as well as a modest amount of independent funds for materials and supplies.
Candidates should be no more than three years past receipt of the Ph.D. at the time of the application. The intention of the program is to select individuals who would qualify for research staff positions at BNL upon completion of the appointment. For inquiries about the program, please contact Kathleen Barkigia, barkigia@bnl.gov.
Consideration will be given to excellent candidates with training in any discipline pertinent to the Lab's mission to deliver expertise and capabilities that drive scientific breakthroughs and innovation for today and tomorrow.
