The Miller Research Fellows program is the central program of the Adolph C. and Mary Sprague Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science on the University of California Berkeley campus. The program constitutes the support of Research Fellows - a group of the world’s most brilliant young scientists. Each year, eight to ten Miller Research Fellows are chosen from hundreds of nominations in all areas of science on the basis the promise of their scientific research. The Fellowships are three-year appointments, during which the young scientists launch their careers, being mentored by Berkeley’s faculty and making use of the facilities at the university. A few Fellows stay on as new Berkeley faculty. Most move on to contribute to faculty positions at other reputed institutions around the world. Other comparable programs are the Harvard Junior Fellows and the Junior Fellowship Program at the University of Cambridge. To date, there have been over 500 Miller Fellows from all areas of science since the inception of the program in 1960. Carl Sagan was among the first group of Fellows in the program. Along with the Miller Fellows, the Miller Institute also supports Miller Professorships for selected Berkeley faculty, Miller Visiting Professorships, and Miller Senior Fellows. In all, the Institute has supported more than 1000 scientists, including eight Nobel Prize winners, nine Fields Medalists, and dozens of National Academy of Science members. == Notable Fellows == * Carl Sagan: 1960 – 1962, Astronomy * Adrian Bejan: 1976 – 1978, Mechanical Engineering * Steven Clarke: 1976 – 1978, Biochemistry * Reinhard Genzel: 1980 – 1982, Physics * Alexei Filippenko: 1984 – 1986, Astronomy * Grisha Perelman: 1993 – 1995, Mathematics * Michael Manga: 1994 – 1996, Geophysics * Safi R.
