IBM is pleased to announce the 1999 fellowship program for students pursuing the Ph.D. degree in areas of broad interest to IBM, including electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and related disciplines. Students nominated for these fellowships should be enrolled full time in an accredited US or Canadian college or university and should have completed at least one year of graduate study before the 1999/2000 academic year begins. Nominations must be made by a faculty member.
IBM Fellowships are intended to help enlarge the pool of talented Ph.D.Ìs in areas of importance to IBM. IBM values diversity in the workplace and encourages nominations of women, minorities and others who contribute to that diversity.
This year IBM will offer two types of fellowships: Research Fellowships and Cooperative Fellowships (described below). IBM will award approximately 25 fellowships in each of these categories. Both fellowships cover tuition and fees, and provide a student stipend of $15,000. In addition, each category of fellowship will provide for a small number of Distinguished Fellowships with a stipend of $20,000. All fellowships are awarded annually and eligible for continuation based on academic standing, continued progress and achievement, and the level of interaction with IBMms technical community.
Nominations for the 1999/2000 academic year will be accepted from January 15, 1999 to February 24, 1999. Award recipients will be notified by April 5. Faculty wishing to nominate a student for either Fellowship can do so during the nomination period at: http://domino.watson.ibm.com/hr/research/fellows.nsf/nomination.
RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS: Research Fellowships are intended for students wishing to pursue a career in Research and will be administered by the IBM Research Division. Selection for the Research Fellowships will be based on an assessment of the studentms overall potential for a research career, as well as their progress to date. In 1999, up to four Distinguished Fellowships, with stipends of $20,000, will be awarded to students of exceptional promise. Students receiving a Research Fellowship will be offered an internship at one of the Research Division's laboratories as well as the opportunity to interact with Research scientists in a variety of settings.
COOPERATIVE FELLOWSHIPS: Cooperative Fellowships are intended for students who wish to pursue a challenging technical career in advanced technology and product development as well as related research areas. Competition will be based on overall technical excellence as well as the match of interests to those of IBM's development laboratories. In the case of exceptional promise, Distinguished Fellowships, carrying a stipend of $20,000, may also be awarded. Students receiving a Cooperative Fellowship will be offered an internship at one of IBM's development laboratories, as well as the opportunity to interact with IBM technical people in a variety of settings. Questions about IBMÌs fellowship programs will be addressed by contacting: RFellow@us.ibm.com (for Research Fellowships) or CFellow@us.ibm.com. (for Cooperative Fellowships)

Postdoctoral Fellows
Brandeis University: Position for a biochemist is available immediately to work on Calcium/calmoduline-dependent Protein Kinase II (CaMKII). The goal is to understand the functional and structural consequences of isoform diversity in the variable region of the Drosophilia CaMKII. The project will have three main goals. 1) Characterization of differences in substrate speciality, 2) characterization of the regulatory properties of each isoform, and 3) strucutural analysis of kinase isoforms.
