ARL Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is the nation’s premier laboratory for land forces. The civilians working at ARL and its predecessors have had many successes in basic and applied research. Currently, ARL scientists and engineers are pioneering research in such areas as neuroscience, energetic materials and propulsion, electronics technologies, network sciences, virtual interfaces and synthetic environments and autonomous systems. They are leaders in modeling and simulation and have high performance computing resources on-site. They are expanding into frontier areas, including fields such as quantum information and quantum networks.

We invite outstanding young researchers to participate in this excitement as ARL Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows. These Fellows will display extraordinary ability in scientific research and show clear promise of becoming outstanding future leaders. Candidates are expected to have already successfully tackled a major scientific or engineering problem or to have provided a new approach or insight evidenced by a recognized impact in their field. ARL offers these named Fellowships in honor of distinguished researchers and work that has been performed at Army labs.

The ARL Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships are three-year appointments. The annual stipend is $100,000, and the fellowship includes benefits and potential additional funding for selected proposals. Applicants must hold a PhD degree, awarded within the past three years, at the time of application.
