Program offers unique and inspiring environment for fellows to
conduct research with leading NASA scientists; apply by July 1 for
next application cycle deadline
NASA invites both early-career and senior scientists to explore
fellowship opportunities in its postdoctoral program and share in
NASA's mission to develop advancements in science, technology,
aeronautics and space exploration. The deadline to apply for this
cycle of fellowships is July 1, 2024. Learn more or apply for
fellowships in the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP). ORAU manages
the NPP for NASA.
“The NPP includes diverse scientific and technological
fellowships offered at NASA and one-of-a-kind educational
experiences that prepare future leaders for NASA and the academic
community,” said ORAU NPP Program Director J. Scott Miller, Ph.D.
“ORAU supports NASA's goal to build an inclusive, collaborative,
open, and innovative work environment that enhances work-life
balance and encourages career development for postdoctoral
fellows.”
This program offers unique research opportunities for
highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. scientists to engage in ongoing
NASA research projects with top scientists at a NASA Center, NASA
Headquarters or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one-
to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to
advance NASA’s missions in space science, earth science,
aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems and
astrobiology.
Eligibility
Applicants who are in the process of earning their Ph.D. or
equivalent doctoral degree may apply now, but each applicant must
have completed the requirements for their doctoral degree before
starting an NPP fellowship. Scientists who have received their
doctorates more than five years previously may apply as a senior
fellow. See eligibility and requirements for more details.
Benefits
Stipend rates for these NASA postdoctoral fellows currently
start at $70,000 per year. Supplements are provided for higher
cost-of-living areas and certain academic specialties. The stipend
amount for a senior postdoctoral fellow is based on the location of
the appointment, experience (number of years beyond the doctoral
degree) and career achievement, including academic rank and
professional title. Available benefits include health insurance
supplements, professional development resources, a research
allowance up to $10,000 per year and relocation reimbursement.
