The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics supports visiting researchers in physics who are faculty at teaching-intensive U.S. colleges. Applicants need to be from non-PhD-granting institutions and from institutions with greater emphasis on teaching (e.g., as measured by teaching load). Ongoing research activity is also a criterion.
Each award funds a total of 3 roundtrips and up to 6 weeks of local expenses, to be used over a period of up to 3 years, usually 2 weeks per year. Approximately 6-8 scholars are chosen each year.
Scientists interested in this program should apply via the link below and upload a vita together with a statement describing their research interests and teaching requirements. The application deadline is November 1, 2024. Each applicant must arrange for at least one letter of recommendation to be submitted by this date. Awards will be announced in January 2025.
The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service.
