Working with me

Berkeley is a great place for research in cosmology!  If you are a student or postdoc interested in working with me, below is information about funding and fellowships:

Postdocs:  Several postdoctoral fellowships are available every year, please keep an eye on the AAS job register for postings!  I recommend you apply to fellowships at both LBL and at UC Berkeley campus: you can work with anyone in the group regardless of whether you are hired by LBL or UC Berkeley.  At LBL, a great opportunity is the annual Chamberlain fellowship, in addition to any other jobs posted.  On campus, the BCCP fellowship is the main funding channel, together with the Miller fellowship (note that Miller has an early deadline for nomination, usually early September, and that it's NOT advertised on the AAS job register!).   We can also host fellows from NASA's Hubble and Einstein programs, please get in touch if you are considering taking a NASA fellowship to LBL.

Graduate students:  In addition to the usual graduate fellowships (NSF, NASA, DOE CSGF, etc), post-quals students can apply for funding through the DOE SCGSR fellowship -- for the latter one you don't need to be a Berkeley student to apply and take it to LBL.  You can use it to visit LBL for up to one year and work with us here.

Undergraduate students:  UC Berkeley's URAP and the Lab's SULI and BLUR are great programs to fund research projects for undergrads.  Some funding may also be available through the Physics and Astronomy departments (ask about the "Berkeley Discover" grant).  Also see these excellent resources from the Astronomy and Physics departments.

Please contact me to discuss possible projects before applying.  In some circumstances, funding for undergraduate and graduate students may be available from the Lab's Physics Division, especially for research directly related to DOE-funded experiments such as DESI, Rubin Observatory and CMB-S4.
