Miller Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science was established on the University of California Berkeley campus in 1955 after Adolph C. Miller and his wife, Mary Sprague Miller made a donation to the University. It was their wish that the donation be used to establish an institute “dedicated to the encouragement of creative thought and conduct of pure science.”
The Miller Institute sponsors Miller Research Professors, Visiting Miller Professors and Miller Research Fellows. The first appointments of Miller Professors were made in January 1957. The Institute has hosted over 1000 scientists in its programs since that time.
[edit] Miller Research Fellows
The Miller Institute seeks to discover and encourage individuals of outstanding talent, and to provide them with the opportunity to pursue their research on the Berkeley campus. Fellows are selected on the basis of their academic achievement and the promise of their scientific research. Each Miller Fellow is sponsored by an academic department on the Berkeley campus and performs his or her research in the facilities provided by the host UC Berkeley academic department. The Fellowships are intended for brilliant young women and men of great promise who have recently been awarded, or who are about to be awarded, the doctoral degree. [1]
