Visiting Scholars Program Page

We have had an active program for visiting scholars over the year. Typically one or more senior visitors come and work with the group during the summer but sometimes during the academic year. The group has often hosted and continues to host post docs , graduate students , and undergraduates . Typically the visiting graduate students have done the research for their thesis project in the group for their Ph.D. or Master's degree.

• Senior Visitors Many senior visitors come here with their own funding. Some visitors are able to qualify for travel support through one of several programs. There are short term programs, e.g. weeks to summer that are generally straightforward. We have also hosted Fullbright Scholars. There are also senior Miller Research Fellowships and Professorships. See the Miller Institute The Miller Professorship Program deadline is September 23 in 2002 and similar date each year. The Miller Fellowship Program deadline for 2002 is October 3. The Visiting Miller Professorship Program must be to the Physics Department by October 1st and to the program by October 7th.
