[phas-dept] FW: [Faculty-talk] [Announce] Applications now being accepted for Perimeter Scholars International

[Carlos Bertulani]

FYI (read below). I encourage students with interest in any area of theoretical physics to apply.

If you need a recommendation letter, I am always pleased to write one for you.

Dear Colleague,

Each year, Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics recruits approximately 30 exceptional science graduates for an immersive, 10-month physics boot camp: Perimeter Scholars International (PSI)<http://link.perimeterinstitute.ca/c/306/8cab9f837a9632e44f8f6704ed440f7d7a05eba304f9b5db92edca101e990420>. This unique Master’s program seeks not only students with stellar undergraduate physics track records, but also those with diverse backgrounds, collaborative spirit, creativity, and other attributes that will set them apart as future innovators.Watch this short video to hear what PSI Graduates say about the program<http://link.perimeterinstitute.ca/c/306/8cab9f837a9632e44f8f6704ed440f7d7a05eba304f9b5db34aac491a99a586d>.

Features of the program include:

  *   All student costs (tuition and living) are covered, removing financial and/or geographical barriers to entry
  *   Students learn from world-leading theoretical physicists – resident Perimeter researchers and visiting scientists – within the inspiring environment of Perimeter Institute
  *   Collaboration is valued over competition; deep understanding and creativity are valued over rote learning and examination
  *   PSI recruits worldwide: 85 percent of students come from outside of Canada
  *   PSI takes calculated risks, seeking extraordinary talent who may have non-traditional academic backgrounds but have demonstrated exceptional scientific aptitude

PSI is now accepting applications for the class of 2016/17. Please help share this opportunity with colleagues, students, or groups who may be interested:

  *   Download, print, and hang this high-resolution poster<http://link.perimeterinstitute.ca/c/306/8cab9f837a9632e44f8f6704ed440f7d057b0a194eb557148bebc2421a1f69d7>
  *   Direct all to the Perimeter Scholars International website<http://link.perimeterinstitute.ca/c/306/8cab9f837a9632e44f8f6704ed440f7d7a05eba304f9b5db92edca101e990420> for more information
  *   Paste key information below into your websites and blogs

Applications are due by February 1, 2016.

Please note that there is no application fee.

Thank you in advance for helping share the word of this unique opportunity for emerging physics talent.
Best regards,

James Forrest
