Brookhaven National Laboratory has introduced a fellowship program named after Nobel Laureate Raymond Davis Jr. The initiative targets early career researchers, aiming to draw top talent to the lab and nurture future scientific leaders. Applications for the inaugural fellowship are now open.

The selected fellows will collaborate closely with a Brookhaven sponsor, focusing on their research interests. They will hold research staff scientist positions for four years, enjoying full benefits, competitive salaries, and additional funding for research support, including postdoctoral researcher financing. The program's goal is to retain these fellows for long-term careers at Brookhaven Lab. Up to two fellows will be chosen in the selection process.

Eligible candidates should have at least two years of distinguished experience post-Ph.D., demonstrating potential contributions aligned with the laboratory's scientific initiatives. Candidates from any relevant discipline are encouraged to apply. Current Brookhaven postdoctoral researchers and staff can also apply.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in a STEM field and be no more than five years beyond receiving it when applying. Evidence of academic achievement and potential for leadership in technical and research areas is required.

Raymond Davis Jr., whom the fellowship honors, was a chemist at Brookhaven who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002 for his work on solar neutrinos. More information about him and application guidance can be found on the Raymond Davis Jr. Fellowship website.
