Subject: PCTS Call for Nomination of Candidates for PCTS Fellowship
To: <pcts_nominators at princeton.edu>


Dear Colleague,



We are writing to encourage you to submit nominations for the
Princeton Center for Theoretical Science Postdoctoral Fellowships.
They carry the rank of Associate Research Scholar and are among the
most prestigious postdoctoral positions offered in the theoretical
sciences at Princeton University. They are intended for early-career
theoretical scientists, broadly construed, including the fields of
astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geosciences, physics, and
engineering.  The nominees should be individuals with outstanding
talent and accomplishment who are eager to broaden their scientific
horizons.    We particularly encourage nominations of qualified
candidates who are women and/or members of other groups that are
underrepresented in the theoretical sciences, especially people of
color.  Fellows receive a three-year appointment in the Center fully
supported by Center funds, an office in the Center facility, and have
full freedom to develop their scientific interests with the support
and mentoring of the senior Faculty Fellows.  It is our intention that
the Center experience will have a profound impact on the scientific
development and future careers of the Fellows.



The deadline for receipt of the Postdoctoral nomination, reference
letters, and supporting materials from the candidate is October 15,
2020 so it is important for you to submit your nomination as soon as
possible to give your candidate and their references time to complete
their parts.



The nomination process is very simple: click on this link:



PCTS NOMINATION



and submit the candidate’s name, email address, and a nomination
letter, in PDF format.  The candidates will then be sent information
necessary to complete their application and to submit letters of
reference should they choose to accept the nomination. (Please note,
this is a new nomination site, so please use this link to make sure
you get to the correct page.)  A doctorate degree in a related field
is required.



The PCTS Faculty Fellows begin evaluation and invitation to interview
(via videoconferencing) on October 15, 2020.   (The website will
continue to accept late nominations and applications, but there can be
no assurance they will be considered.)



The mission of the Center is to foster interaction and collaboration
between theorists across the natural sciences at Princeton to enhance
research and education.  We pursue this goal through our Center
Postdoctoral Fellowships and our sponsorship of focused programs of
study in frontier areas in theoretical science that cut across
traditional disciplinary boundaries. A group of Senior Faculty
Fellows, coming from a broad range of disciplines and departments,
take active responsibility for guiding the intellectual life of the
Center. Information about all PCTS programs can be found at our
website https://pcts.princeton.edu/



Sincerely,



Igor Klebanov, Director  klebanov at princeton.edu

Ned Wingreen, Associate Director wingreen at princeton.edu
