George Gamow was a professor of Physics at GW from 1934 to 1956.
The Gamow Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is a newly launched program at Columbian College, in partnership with the Office of the Vice President for Research. Named after George Gamow, a renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist of GW, this program seeks to boost productivity of research groups at GW while also addressing the need for greater diversity in the nation’s research science community.
Each Gamow fellowship includes a $55,000 research stipend plus benefits. To be eligible, an applicant must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. Priorities will be given applicants who are from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
Two Gamow Postdoctoral positions are available. See below for position descriptions and information about applying.
