One additional fellowship will be offered for basic or applied research in materials science and engineering related to the Free Electron Laser program at the Jefferson Lab. Awards will be made for study and research leading to a doctoral degree in the physical or engineering sciences. Jefferson Lab Fellowships are designed to encourage graduate students to undertake research at the Jefferson Lab by offering additional stipend and travel support - beyond what is paid to a research assistant at a university. Eligibility Graduate students who are or plan to be enrolled full-time in SURA university doctoral programs, relevant to the programs of the Jefferson Lab, are eligible. Students may apply at any stage of their graduate work, as well as during their senior year.
Awards are limited to two years.
Students must re-apply for a second year fellowship award. Institutional support may be used to supplement the SURA stipend and provide tuition remission. SURA must be informed of the nature and amount of the supplement. Summer employment as research assistants at Jefferson Laboratory will be available to fellows in summer 2001. Merit and quality of proposed research.
