KITP SCHOLARS The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics supports visiting researchers in theoretical physics who are faculty at teaching intensive U.S. colleges. Applicants need to be from non-Ph.D.-granting institutions and from institutions with greater emphasis on teaching (as measured, for example, by teaching load). Ongoing research activity is also a criterion. Each award funds a total of three round trips and up to six weeks of local expenses, to be used over a period of up to three years, usually 2 weeks per year. Approximately 6-8 scholars are chosen each year. Scientists interested in this program should apply via the web page link below and upload a vita together with a statement describing their research interests and teaching requirements before November 1, 2016. Each applicant must arrange for at least one letter of recommendation to be submitted by this date. Awards will be announced by December 15, 2016.

KITP GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS The purpose of this program is to offer a unique opportunity for a select group of physics graduate students to spend a semester at the KITP, participate in KITP research programs and broaden their understanding of physics in areas of current research.

The KITP Graduate Fellows will be selected from nominations from participants in the programs and from other graduate advisors nationwide. Since we wish to make sure that the students admitted are fully able to benefit from the program, and that it will not harm the normal progress of their graduate education, we require that the student’s advisor nominate the candidate student. Students cannot apply to the program directly. Students who wish to participate should convince their advisors to nominate them. The nominator should describe the student, and explain why she/he is suitable for such a program. Additional letters of support would be useful, but are not necessary. The Graduate Fellows will be reimbursed for local expenses during their stay at the KITP, at a rate of approximately $2100/month plus travel support. Further information about the fellowship and about our current and upcoming programs is available on our web site: https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu. Nominations should be made by completing the form at https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/apply/ fellowships/graduate-fellowship-program/nomination-form or by writing to:
