All applications should include: - Nature of the desired visit
- Area of interest (quantum information, quantum gravity, superstrings, cosmology, quantum foundations, particle physics, condensed matter and complex systems)
- Supporting documents such as a CV and a statement of research interests
- Clear explanation of the extent of any financial support required
If you require additional information or have questions, please contact LeeAnne Kane, Manager, Office of the COO & Scientific Programs.
Sabbatical Leave Program
Perimeter Institute encourages applications from scientists in theoretical physics who wish to spend time at Perimeter Institute while on sabbatical leave from their faculty positions at home institutes. These select Visiting Researcher positions span the period of June to September of the following year, in the areas of quantum information, quantum gravity, superstrings, cosmology, quantum foundations, particle physics, condensed matter and complex systems. Outstanding researchers in related fields are welcome to submit expressions of interest. More information about the formal application procedure can be found here.
