Dear Colleague,

A friendly reminder that the deadline for nominating a candidate for this year's 2021-2024 MIT Pappalardo Fellowships in Physics competition is in three weeks, on 

Friday, SEPTEMBER 11, 2020.

Please nominate your candidate using the online form located at:

 

http://web.mit.edu/physics/research/pappalardo/competition.html#nominations

Nominees should be young physicists of exceptional ability, at the beginning stage of their careers, who currently have or will have received a doctoral degree in physics, astronomy or related fields by September 1, 2021.

 

Helpful notes:

(1) Your letter of reference is not required at the time you submit the online nomination form.

Instead, your nominee will submit your name and contact information to academicjobsonline.org (AJO), where the competition is hosted online.

AJO will then email you directly with instructions for uploading your letter to its secure web locker designated for referees.

 

(2) Current MIT graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, or those who have already received an offer for a postdoctoral position from an MIT faculty member, will only be considered by the Committee under exceptional circumstances.

(3) Interested candidates cannot self-nominate; nomination by a faculty or senior researcher is required.
