• full consideration.

• Appointments are expected to begin on or around Autumn 2027. It is
• expected that at least four fellowships will be awarded.
• Research areas eligible for the fellowship include quantum algorithms,
• quantum chemistry, quantum computing, quantum dynamics, quantum
• information, quantum materials and condensed matter, quantum optics,
• quantum sensing and most other research specialties that can
• legitimately be prefixed by the word "quantum."

• Eligibility: For consideration, candidates must have completed a PhD
• degree prior to their tentative appointment date. The fellowship is
