Martin Keller, director of the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is honoring acclaimed researcher Arthur Nozik by naming a Director's Fellowship after him.

The Nozik Fellowship is available to early-career researchers who earned their Ph.D. in the last two years. A senior research fellow emeritus, Nozik joined NREL in 1978 when it was then known as the Solar Energy Research Institute. Nozik's interest in science took him into myriad areas, including photoelectrochemistry, photoelectrolysis, ultrafast spectroscopies, quantum dots and superlattices, hot-carrier dynamics, multiple exciton generation, and solar fuels.

The successful candidate will pursue research funded for at least a two years, with a third-year renewal possible. Applications will be reviewed between June 1 and Sept. 15. A full description and how to apply are given on the Director's Postdoctoral Fellowship webpage.

NREL is the U.S. Department of Energy's primary national laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. NREL is operated for the Energy Department by The Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.
