Emmy Noether Visiting Fellowships, Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario

Emmy Noether was a brilliant scientist whose work underpins much of modern physics.

The Simons Emmy Noether Fellows Program at Perimeter Institute honours her legacy by supporting and encouraging early- and mid-career women physicists.

The visiting fellowships, which are held for periods of up to one year, bring talented researchers to Perimeter at a critical stage of their careers. Fellows enjoy uninterrupted research time immersed in Perimeter’s collaborative environment. The flexibility of the program may include support for housing, teaching buy-outs, and childcare – which allows researchers to shape their visits in ways that enrich and accelerate their scientific careers.

Physicists who are currently in faculty positions at universities or equivalent at a research centre and working particularly in the fields represented at Perimeter: quantum information, quantum gravity, quantum fields and strings, cosmology, quantum foundations, particle physics, condensed matter, strong gravity, and mathematical physics are encouraged to apply.

Deadline for applications is January 13, 2020. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.  For more information, or to apply online, click here.
