CNLS Ulam Scholar

The Stanislaw M. Ulam Distinguished Scholar is an annual award which enables a noted scientist to spend time at the Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) at Los Alamos National Laboratory carrying out research in collaboration with staff scientists of the Laboratory. The Ulam Scholarship honors the memory of the brilliant Polish-American mathematician Stan Ulam, who was among the founders of what has now become "nonlinear science." A number of Ulam Scholars, from 1985 until the present, have made significant contributions to Laboratory efforts in nonlinear science and established sustained collaborations with researchers in the technical divisions.

Ulam scholars are expected to sit at CNLS (an office will be provided), give a series of 1-3 lectures in their field of expertise, and work with a broad set of scientists at the Laboratory. Typically, these scholars are at Los Alamos full-time for 2-4 months. Scholars can be reimbursed for travel/housing and/or an honorarium (based on salary).

The Ulam Scholar Fellowship is accessed by competition, and the applicants should be nominated by a current staff scientist at LANL.

Applications for FY25 are due Feb. 1st 2024 and a a decision is expected to be announced around March 1st. Applications require a CV and a proposal that includes discussion of the scholar's expertise and how it fits into LANL along with names (and group affiliations) of multiple sponsors with whom the Ulam scholar will work during the time of the visit.
