MIT Pappalardo Fellowships in Physics for US and Non-US Citizens

is delighted to offer Pappalardo Fellowships
in Physics to study in the USA. The US, as well as Non-US citizens, are

The
mission of the MIT Pappalardo Fellowships in Physics is to sustain a
distinguished postdoctoral program that identifies, recruits and supports the
most talented and promising young physicists at an early stage in their
careers.

The
MIT Physics Department is one of the best places in the world for research and
education in physics. We have been ranked the number one physics department
since 2002 by US News & World Report. In recent years we have produced the
largest numbers of undergraduate and doctoral degrees in physics of any
university in the US. Our successes are widely admired and emulated.
