Job Announcement Text: 

The Physics Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) announces the competition for the 2017 Owen Chamberlain Fellowships in experimental particle physics and cosmology.

The Physics Division pursues a broad portfolio of experimental research including direct detection of dark matter (LZ), high-energy collider physics (ATLAS), cosmology (DESI, WFIRST, Type Ia Supernovae, DES, eBOSS, LSST), and Cosmic Microwave Background experiments (POLARBEAR, Simons Array, Simons Observatory, CMB-S4). We also have a long tradition of advanced detector development. Chamberlain Fellows may join any of the above programs, subject to funding availability.

The Fellowship honors Berkeley Nobel Laureate Owen Chamberlain, who, together with Emilio Segre, Clyde Wiegand, and Thomas Ypsilantis, discovered the anti-proton at the Berkeley Bevatron in 1955.

Applicants for a Chamberlain Fellowship will also automatically be considered for other experimental postdoctoral positions available in the LBNL Physics Division. For more information on the Physics Division's research programs, visit http://physics.lbl.gov.
