JILA believes science environments are collaborative environments. We therefore encourage scientists from around the world to join us at JILA as postdoctoral researchers. At JILA, researchers will benefit from the collaborative and welcoming environment. Postdoctoral Research Associateships are intended to provide advanced research training in the years immediately following the PhD degree. Through the University of Colorado Boulder, JILA hires postdoctoral researchers whose scholarly qualifications, promise as research scientists, and research interests and experience support JILA's ongoing research programs and goals. Associateships are generally offered for durations of a year or longer. Applicants from all countries are welcome. Postdoctoral appointments usually are awarded in support of ongoing research projects, but consideration of proposals for original research is not precluded. Those interested in applying are encouraged to contact JILA Fellows to discuss research opportunities and potential application. Applications and supporting materials must be submitted before letters of recommendation. Please visit the award's website for more information.
