Eligibility: Miller Research
Fellowships are intended for exceptional young scientists of great promise who
have recently been awarded, or who are about to be awarded, the doctoral
degree. Normally, Miller Fellows are expected to begin their Fellowship shortly
after being awarded their Ph.D. A short period as a post-doctoral fellow
elsewhere does not exclude eligibility. However, candidates who have already
completed substantial postdoctoral training are unlikely to be successful
except in unusual circumstances. Postdocs cannot have had more than five years
of postdoctoral experience, including from other institutions, nor been
employed as an assistant professor, associate professor or professor in order
to be eligible. A nominee cannot hold a paid or unpaid position on the Berkeley
campus at the time of nomination or throughout the competition and award cycle,
which can run into February. Nominees who are non-US citizens must show
eligibility for obtaining J-1 Scholar visa status for the duration of the
Miller Fellowship. Non-US citizens will be required to prove English language
proficiency prior to award. The Miller Institute does not support H1B visa
status. The Fellowship term must commence between July 1 and September 1, 2018.
Eligible nominees will be invited by the Institute to apply for the fellowship.
The nominee’s email address becomes the candidate’s unique ID, so please
confirm your nominee’s preferred and correct email address. Direct applications
and self-nominations are not accepted. ALL nominations must be submitted
online.
