List of Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Chicago

This list of Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Chicago comprehensively shows the alumni, faculty members as well as researchers of the University of Chicago who were awarded the Nobel Prize or the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. The Nobel Prizes, established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, are awarded to individuals who make outstanding contributions in the fields of Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine.[4] An associated prize, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics), was instituted by Sweden's central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, in 1968 and first awarded in 1969.[5]

Some of the Nobel laureates of the University of Chicago include Arthur Holly Compton (first from left), Werner Heisenberg (second from left), and Robert S. Mulliken (third from right). At the University of Chicago, Compton was a professor from 1923 to 1945,[1] Heisenberg was a visitor in Spring 1929,[2] and Mulliken (Ph.D. in 1921) was a professor from 1928 to 1986.[3]

As of October 2019, 100 Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the University of Chicago. Among the 100 laureates, 95 are the laureates of the scientific Nobel Prizes and the Nobel Prize in Economics; 34 are UChicago alumni (graduates and attendees) and 48 have been long-term academic members of the university; and, subject-wise, 33 have won the Nobel Prize in Economics, more than any other subject (for verification, see "Summary"). This list considers Nobel laureates as equal individuals and does not consider their various prize shares or if they received the prize more than once.[6]

Inclusion criteria

General rules
View of the University of Chicago from the Midway Plaisance.

The affiliations of the University of Chicago in this list include all the official academic affiliations such as official academic employment and degree programs of the university. The official academic affiliations include alumni (graduates and attendees), long-term faculty members, and short-term academic staff.

Graduates are defined as those who hold bachelor's, master's, doctorate, or equivalent degrees from the university, while attendees are those who studied at the university, but did not complete the degree program or obtain a formal degree. Honorary degrees, posthumous degrees, summer attendees, exchange students, and auditing students are excluded from this list. Those who hold certificates or studied as non-degree students at the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies, the extension school of the university, are also excluded.

The long-term faculty members consist of tenure or tenure-track and equivalent academic positions, while short-term academic staff consist of lecturers (without tenure), postdoctoral researchers (postdocs), visiting professors or scholars (visitors), and equivalent academic positions. At the University of Chicago, the specific academic title solely determines the type of affiliation, regardless of the actual time the position was held by a laureate.

Further explanations on visitors under short-term academic staff are presented as follows. 1) All informal or personal visits are excluded from the list; 2) all employment-based visiting positions, which carry teaching or research duties, are included as affiliations in the list; 3) as for award or honor-based visiting positions, to minimize controversy this list takes a conservative view and includes the positions as affiliations only if the laureates were required to assume employment-level duty (teaching or research) or the laureates specifically classified the visiting positions as "affiliation" or similar in reliable sources such as their curriculum vita. To be specific, visiting positions such as the "Albert Dorfman Memorial Lecture" and "Greensfelder Memorial Lecture" are awards or honors or recognition without employment-level duty, and thus will not be counted in this list. In particular, attending meetings and giving public lectures, talks or non-curricular seminars is not a form of employment-level duty. This list also exclude those who held non-academic positions (for instance, advisory committee, administrative staff, etc.) at the university. Finally, summer visitors are generally excluded from the list unless summer work yielded significant end products such as research publications and components of Nobel-winning work, since summer terms are not part of formal academic years; the same rule applies to the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies.

This list does not include Nobel-winning organizations or any individuals affiliated with those organizations. It also doesn't include affiliates of institutions that later merged and became part of the University of Chicago. For instance, the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy (founded in 1908) merged with the university in 1920 to become one of its graduate schools, the School of Social Service Administration;[7] the affiliates of the School before 1920 are excluded from this list.

Affiliated organizations

Argonne National Laboratory has been operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) since the laboratory was established in 1946.[29] The lab belongs to the DOE, and is directly operated by a limited liability company named UChicago Argonne LLC, which is a subsidiary of University of Chicago.[30] The affiliates of the lab since 1946 are included in this page. However, some Nobel laureates were only facility users at the lab, and didn't form official academic affiliations with the lab. In such cases, the laureates are excluded from the list. For instance, although Nobel laureates Alan J. Heeger, Brian K. Kobilka, Johann Deisenhofer and John A. Pople used the Argonne lab facilities such as the Advanced Photon Source (APS), they are not included because they did not form official academic affiliations with the lab.[31][32][33]

The Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, established in 1932 by Alfred Cowles at Colorado Springs, Colorado, moved to Chicago in 1939, and had formed an affiliation with University of Chicago until 1955.[34] In this list, the affiliates of the Foundation by 1955 are included.[35]

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) has been operated by Fermi Research Alliance LLC for the DOE Office of Science since 2007.[36] Fermi Research Alliance LLC is a joint venture of University of Chicago and the Universities Research Association (URA), an association of several research universities.[37] Since, Fermilab is not directly affiliated with or operated by UChicago, the affiliates of the lab are excluded from this list.

Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) became formally affiliated with the University of Chicago on July 1, 2013.[29] MBL scientists include Resident Scientists, who are the full-time researchers of MBL, and also MBL Fellows and Whitman Center Scientists, who are employees of other universities and research organizations, and come to the lab for specific research projects.[38] Resident Scientists of the lab since July 1, 2013 are included in this list.

Summary
See also: List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation

According to Wikipedia policies on no original research and objectivity/neutrality, it is not possible in Wikipedia to assign various weights to different types of affiliations. Hence, all types of affiliations count equally in the following table and throughout the whole page.

The following table summarizes the Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Chicago. In the table, the number following a person's name is the year they received the prize; in particular, a number with asterisk (*) means the person received the award while they were working at the University of Chicago (including emeritus staff). A name underlined implies that this person has already been listed in a previous category (i.e., multiple affiliations). The table doesn't provide citations or details on entries; for citations and details, see "Nobel laureates by category".
