Fellows of the Burke Institute
The Burke Institute has several endowed fellowships for distinguished postdoctoral scholars in theoretical physics such as the Sherman Fairchild Prize Postdoctoral Fellowships, David and Ellen Lee Distinguished Fellowships, and McCone, DuBridge, and Tolman Fellowships. The support offered by these fellowships enables theorists to pursue innovative research.
Current Fellows of the Burke Institute are listed here.
We are soliciting applications for the 2017 - 2020 Fellows of the Burke Institute at this webpage.
Over 95 percent of the more than 120 former endowed fellows hold distinguished academic positions. These scholars work on every continent except Antarctica.
