KAVLI INSTITUTE FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS

KITP Scholars

The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics supports visiting researchers in physics who are faculty at teaching-intensive U.S. colleges. Applicants need to be from non-PhD-granting institutions and from institutions with greater emphasis on teaching (e.g., as measured by teaching load). Ongoing research activity is also a criterion.

Each award funds a total of 3 roundtrips and up to 6 weeks of local expenses, to be used over a period of up to 3 years, usually 2 weeks per year. Approximately 6-8 scholars are chosen each year.

Scientists interested in this program should apply via the link below and upload a vita together with a statement describing their research interests and teaching requirements. The application deadline is November 1, 2023. Each applicant must arrange for at least one letter of recommendation to be submitted by this date. Awards will be announced in January 2024.

Further information about our programs is available on our website: https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu.
