(Source: Information from jobs.ieee.org) The Director’s Office initiated these special postdoctoral fellowships at Argonne to be awarded internationally on an annual basis to outstanding doctoral scientists and engineers who are at early points in promising careers. The fellowships are named after scientific and technical luminaries who have been associated with Argonne and its predecessors and the University of Chicago since the 1940s. Candidates for these fellowships must display superb ability in scientific or engineering research, and must show definite promise of becoming outstanding leaders in the research they pursue. Fellowships are awarded for a two-year term with a possible renewal for a third year and carry a stipend of $80,000 per annum with an additional allocation of up to $20,000 per annum for research support and travel.

The sponsor could be someone who is already familiar with your research work and accomplishments through previous collaborations of professional societies. If you have not yet identified an Argonne sponsor, visit the detailed websites of the various Research Programs and Research Divisions at www.anl.gov.
