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. 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 resident 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 _nominee_, is _October 15,
2011,_ 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: go to our website
http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts
and submit the candidate's name, email address, and a nomination
letter. The nominees will then be sent information necessary to
complete their application and to submit letters for reference.
The PCTS Faculty Fellows begin evaluation and invitation to interview on
October 15, 2011. (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@princeton.edu
