This is the height of the fellowship season. For some programs, the application deadline has already come and gone. For most it still lies ahead, but in many cases the deadline looms soon. Berkeley graduate students have historically been very successful in these fellowship competitions; we're often the leading university in students receiving awards from some of the best known and prestigious sources. This doesn’t happen by accident. Our students who win these fellowships go through all the hoops, researching what’s out there (and available here), reading the instructions, and allowing enough time to complete and file the application with any necessary supporting materials.
Is it worth all the trouble? Absolutely! The right fellowship can mean one less part-time job, and that much less distraction from the work you actually want to do. It can bring contacts in your field and help open doors for you.
An outside fellowship confers distinction, and may afford you research adventures that are not otherwise accessible. The task of applying is useful in itself, offering perspective on the special opportunity that your time at Berkeley represents, and what you might do to get the most out of it. The Graduate Division can offer information on external fellowships. Many of these, with application deadlines in the near future, are listed in this issue. We also run workshops during the spring and fall semesters to help you gear up for the process (a sequence of actions, by the way, that will be valuable for your academic job search).
Best,
Andrew J. Szeri

Hungarian-born Elizabeth Roboz Einstein (1904-1995) was, at times in her career, a chemist, a biochemist, and a neurochemist. She researched and taught at Georgetown, CalTech, Stanford, UC San Francisco, and UC Berkeley. She studied, among other things, the myelin nerve sheath, and isolated the myelin basic protein. A special issue of the journal Neurochemical Research (Vol. 9, No. 10, 1984) was dedicated to her. Its preface said, “It is no exaggeration to suggest that the full understanding of multiple sclerosis,” its diagnosis, and its treatment “will be derived in large part from Elizabeth Roboz Einstein’s early work.” In 1959, she married Hans Albert Einstein, who was the son of the great physicist and was a longtime professor of hydraulic engineering at Berkeley, an expert on sedimentation. He died in 1973. A few years before her own death, a book she wrote about him, and their life together, was published. The fellowship recognizing her work was established in 1982 through the UC Berkeley Foundation. (A prime mover for the fellowship, noted Berkeley physiologist Paola Timiras, died this year, on September 12, after a full day of work, at the age of 85.)The Paul J. Alexander Memorial Fellowship was established for the study of Byzantine, ancient, and medieval history. Advanced doctoral Berkeley graduate students studying in the general area of ancient history during the spring 2009 semester are invited to apply. The award amount is approximately $4,000. A student can receive this award only once during his or her academic career. Applications are available online (PDF). Submit your completed application and supporting documents to the Graduate Fellowships Office, 318 Sproul Hall #5900, Berkeley, CA 94720-5900. The application deadline is Wednesday, November 12, 2008.
A refugee from Nazi Germany, Paul Julius Alexander (1910-1977) was a professor of history and comparative literature at Berkeley (after several institutions back east). He was one of the world’s leading Byzantinists, and even in that rarified group was an exception who added Syriac, Arabic, Old Church Slavonic, and Russian to his formidable linguistic equipment.

The Schweitzer Fellowship was founded in 1940 to support Dr. Schweitzer’s medical work in Africa. In 1991, the organization launched its U.S. Schweitzer Fellows Programs, through which graduate students in health professions and related fields carry out direct service projects in underserved communities in this country. This is the program’s second year in California. As many as 16 fellows will be accepted in the Bay Area. Applicants must be enrolled in a degree program through March 2009. Apply online, where additional information is available (click on “U.S. Programs” for information and “Bay Area” for application). The application deadline is February 1, 2009 at 5 p.m. Information sessions will be held during the fall. For more information, contact Dale Ogar, director of the Bay Area Schweitzer Fellows Program, by email or phone (510-289-8407). Note that eligible fields include not only all “health professions” (medicine, nursing, public health, dentistry, social work, allied health professions, etc.) but also any other health-related field, including law, business, music, and the arts.
By the age of 29, Albert Schweitzer was the author of three books, a scholar in music, religion, and philosophy, an organist, a world authority on Bach, principal of a theological seminary, and a university professor with two doctorates. The next year, he decided to become a doctor and devote the rest of his life to direct service, helping Africans in desperate need of medical attention. He and his wife Hélène opened a hospital in Lambaréné, Gabon, where he worked until his death in 1965 at the age of 90. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.The Burton J. Moyer Memorial Fellowship was established in the 1980s by the Northern California Chapter of the Health Physics Society to honor Moyer, who died in 1973, and to encourage his ideals in the study of the safe use of radiation for the benefit of all people. The first person to receive this highly regarded national fellowship, in 1985, was a UC Berkeley graduate student. Students who are interested in health physics must submit their application no later than March 1, 2009. The application is available online (PDF), as is further information about the fellowship.
Burton J. Moyer came to Berkeley in 1942 to work in high-energy physics with Ernest Orlando Lawrence. In addition to his pioneering and productive research, at Lawrence’s request he established a professional health physics group at what is now the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In doing so, he took on the technically difficult work of reducing radiation intensities at the Bevatron for the safety of his colleagues. The shields he designed reduced intensity by a factor of 100, and became an influential model in the design of many accelerator shields. Moyer’s innovative approach to this new aspect of his field led him to be characterized as “the father of accelerator health physics.” He was also a professor and mentor, directing the thesis research of 62 students, and chaired the physics department during Berkeley’s tumultuous 1960s.
Phi Beta Kappa offers several fellowships each year specifically for graduate student members of Phi Beta Kappa who are completing their dissertations. One must be registered at Berkeley to receive the stipend. Graduate advisors should be aware of this program and applications should be available in their offices, as well as in the Graduate Services: Fellowships Office, 318 Sproul Hall. Applications are also available online (http://pbk.berkeley.edu). The application deadline is March 26, 2009.
Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest honorary society, founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. The name comes from the first letters of the Greek motto philosophiae biou kubernetes (“Love of wisdom is the guide of life”).
Each year, the Dan David Prize, a joint international enterprise endowed by the Dan David Foundation, awards 20 scholarships (10 to students from all over the world and 10 to students from Tel Aviv University, where the foundation is headquartered). The scholarship amount is $15,000. Advanced doctoral and postdoctoral students of excellent achievement and promise studying topics related to the fields chosen for this year are invited to apply for scholarships for 2009. The fields are broken into three time dimensions. For the Past category, the field is Astrophysics – History of the Universe; for the Present category, Leadership; and for the Future category, Global Public Health. The application deadline for the scholarships is March 31, 2009. More information is available online.
Dan David is a Romanian-born businessman and philanthropist. He immigrated to Israel in 1960 and the next year, with a $200,000 loan from a cousin, secured the franchise for Photo Me automated photo booths in a number of countries, and eventually took over the company. He is now the sole owner of PhoMat, the company that manufactures the photo booth machines, and in 2000 he created the Dan David Fund and Foundation with a $100 million endowment to recognize outstanding contributions in science, technology, culture, and social welfare, and to assist young scholar-researchers. The scholarship fields are mirrored in the three categories chosen each year for the Dan David Prize. Three prize laureates each receive $1 million, of which they donate 10 percent for scholarships in their fields. Nominations for the prize are now being accepted. The deadline for prize nominations is November 30, 2008, considerably earlier than the March scholarship deadline. Prior recipients of the Dan David Prize include Tom Stoppard, Amos Oz, Michel Brunet, Yo-Yo Ma, Al Gore, Zubin Mehta, and a wide variety of others.
Spontaneous hot licks and good chops — while some of the many attractions at Cal are scheduled and require tickets, others are free and just happen, like this recent appearance at Bancroft and Telegraph by the skillful and uplifting old-time jazz band The Spirit of ‘29, which seems to show up on campus at least every recession or so.

“The American President”
Weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., North Gate Hall
A far-reaching collection of memorable images by Associated Press photographers showing U.S. commanders in chief, from the Civil War to today's "War on Terror," while they travel the campaign trail, attempt to shape international relations, navigate tumultuous governmental crises and personal scandals, and occasionally just rest.
National tragedies, a mainstay of American history, also are featured in a series of photos surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas in 1963, and through images recorded immediately after John Hinckley Jr.'s attempt to kill Ronald Reagan in 1981.
Ken Light
Ken Light, an adjunct professor and director of the Center for Photography at the journalism school, selected the exhibit images from a special AP archive of presidential photos. He notes that, ironically, the exhibit is being staged in an era of major staffing cutbacks for traditional media and increased reliance on AP for campaign trail and presidential photos. Light chose the photos on display from a collection of more than 80 iconic images taken by AP photographers covering the U.S. president and made available to universities, news outlets, and other groups during the current presidential campaign. They are part of the AP Images photo archive of more than 10 million film and digital images.
