The David N. Schramm Fellowship

This postdoctoral research fellowship is awarded for a period of up to five years. In addition to a competitive salary, the position includes ample funds for travel and other research expenses.

The first David Schramm Fellow was John Beacom (2000-2004), currently Assistant Professor at Ohio State University. Beacom received his PhD from University of Wisconsin, Madison (1997) and then was Sherman Fairchild Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech (1997-2000) before coming to Fermilab. Beacom's research focused on all aspects of neutrinos, especially astrophysical signatures.

The current Fellow is Jochen Weller (2004-2005), soon to be Lecturer at University College London. Weller received his PhD from Imperial College (2000) under the supervision of Andy Albrecht, did postdoctoral stints at Cambridge (2000-2004) before arriving at Fermilab in Fall 2004. His research focuses on all aspects of dark energy, from detection to theoretical modeling.

The David Schramm Fellow starting in Fall 2005 will be Dan Hooper (2005-), an expert on dark matter, neutrino astrophysics, and cosmic rays. Hooper received his PhD in 2003 from University of Wisconsin, Madison under the supervision of Francis Halzen and has since been a postdoc at Oxford.
