If you think you have been exposed or are a close contact, you can take an over-the-counter rapid antigen test 3-5 days after exposure. People who have symptoms should stay home, wear a mask, and get tested.
There are currently no masking requirements on campus. Regardless of COVID-19 case rates, the CDC recommends masking:
- If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as a cough, runny nose, or sore throat
- In crowded indoor settings, such as in airplanes, trains, and buses
- In public areas around people who are older or have medical conditions that put them at increased risk for severe COVID-19
- For 10 days after having a significant exposure to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19
- If you have tested positive, see additional guidance at What to Do If You Test Positive for COVID-19 (link is external)
Applications are invited for postdoctoral-level programmatic research fellowships for the Summer 2025 research program on Cryptography. The deadline to apply is August 31, 2024.
Applications are also welcome for postdoctoral fellowships in the research pods on Quantum Computing, on Machine Learning, and on Resilience.
