*Subject:* Call for Nominations for PCTS Postdoctoral Fellowship--Deadline
October 15
*Importance:* High



Dear Colleague,



We are writing to encourage you to submit nominations for the Princeton
Center for Theoretical Science Postdoctoral Fellowships.



Center Postdoctoral Fellowships are the most prestigious postdoctoral
positions offered in the theoretical sciences at Princeton.  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 or members of other groups that are
underrepresented in the theoretical sciences.  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, 2018 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
<https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/nominationFor/7822> *



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
on *October
15, 2018*.   (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.



Sincerely,



Paul Steinhardt, Director  steinh at princeton.edu

Igor Klebanov, Associate Director  klebanov at princeton.edu
