The Center for SpaceTime and the Quantum (CSTQ) is inviting applications for the Enrico Fermi Fellowships (EFF) program (visit https://cstq.org/eff), an initiative funded by the John Templeton Foundation.
We would be very grateful if you would share this information with outstanding graduate students and supervisors interested in fundamental scientific questions and eager to work on both theoretical and experimental aspects.
The Enrico Fermi Fellowships are designed for exceptional graduate students all over the world aiming to fund parts or all of their Ph.D. to enrich their graduate experience by pursuing research across the theory/experiment divide. The program offers fellowships lasting one or two years (exceptional three years), focusing on fundamental scientific areas such as Fundamental Physics, Astronomy, Cosmology, Quantum Foundations, Complexity & Emergence, especially where research addresses conceptual frontiers.
The awarded fellows can request competitive salary support, travel allowance, and research funds for their supervisors, with a maximum total budget of EUR 105K/year. Mentoring and convening activities will also be offered to support their professional development and build a network of well-rounded young scientists.
The application deadline is October 16, 2024, at 12 AM Marseille (CET) time. Fellowships are very flexible and can start any time between the end of February 2025 and January 2026. Apply on the EFF website.
Please refer to the website (https://cstq.org/eff) for detailed information, and to the attached flyer for a quick summary. We encourage you to print the flyer and display it on the university boards.
