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.

“The Simons Emmy Noether Fellows Program made it possible to move our family halfway across the globe for a year, which is no mean feat,” says Sumati Surya, a 2016-17 Emmy Noether Fellow and associate professor at India’s Raman Research Institute. “This experience has injected great energy and inspiration for my research, which is invaluable.”

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 15, 2020. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
