Long and Short-term Visitor Programs

 

Become an ITAMP Visitor!

Partake in the exciting, stimulating research environment at the Harvard University Physics Department and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The Visiting Scholars Program, both long-term (several months to one year) and short-term (one week to several months), is an important part of the ITAMP program available to AMO Theorists.

Financial support for visitors includes travel expenses and subsistence, and in the case of long-term visitors can also include salary supplementation. Computer facilities consist of SUN and Linux workstations, wireless internet, network file system, and access to a Linux cluster.

Visa Information

For information on visas, go to http://www7.NationalAcademies.org/visas. Visitors traveling under a J1 visa will need fax their completed and signed SDS form to the attention of Lisa Bastille, ITAMP Admin. Coordinator at 617-495-9524.Visitor selection is made on the basis of both past research accomplishments and potential for scientific collaboration and productivity at ITAMP. In scheduling visitors an attempt is made to optimize scientific interactions which stimulate research in a number of topical areas at the forefront of AMO science.Applications from theorists in the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics community for both short- and long-term visits will be considered at any time. However, the more lead-time we have, the higher the probability that your requested dates can be approved. We have significant constraints, both on office space and funding, so that not all requests are able to be accommodated

The Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics would appreciate receiving copes of any scientific papers or publications that you completed, began, or worked on during your stay at the Institute. If the Institute supported your travel/living expenses, contributed to your salary, or supplied computer time for your research, please include the following acknowledgement in any resultant publications:

“This work was (partially) supported by the National Science Foundation through a grant for the Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics at Harvard University and Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.”

Preferred Travel Agencies

Invited ITAMP visitors and speakers MUST use one of Harvard’s “Preferred Travel Agencies”, unless specifically arranging travel through the Smithsonian Travel office. All Foreign Travel MUST be on US flag Carriers and this must be designated on the ticket.

For information about housing, consult the ITAMP home page "Living Accommodations."

Recipients of a visitor awards exceeding three months will be offered an opportunity to join an SAO-sponsored health insurance plan upon arrival. This insurance may also be obtained for eligible dependents: your spouse, your unmarried children under 19 years of age, and your unmarried children between 19 and 22 years of age if they attend school full-time. You may obtain this insurance for yourself and your dependents without medical examination by completing an enrollment form within the first 14 days of the beginning of your appointment. Should you elect to enroll in the group plan, your coverage will become effective on either the first or the fifteenth day of that month or the following month, depending on the beginning of your tenure and the enrollment date. For information on health insurance, please contact Dale Alianiello by email at dalianiello@cfa.harvard.edu

Invited visitors should familiarized themselves with the required forms, visa information and travel policies as the completion of these forms and adhiring to the policies will impact their funding.
