Science Fellowships

IPAC Visiting Graduate Fello​wship

IPAC offers six-month graduate student fellowships that allow students from other U.S. institutions to visit IPAC on the Caltech campus and perform astronomical research in close association with an IPAC scientist in the scientific areas of exoplanets, galactic and extra-galactic studies, stellar formation, cosmology, and more.  Eligible applicants are expected to have completed preliminary course work in their graduate program and be available for research during the period of the award. Funding from IPAC will be provided for a six-month period via monthly stipends. Multiple students are expected to be accepted each year, subject to the availability of funding.  Students are expected to be at IPAC during the duration of the Fellowship, nominally February to August, with some flexibility on the starting and ending dates. 

For more information please contact the program coordinator, Dr. Jessie Christiansen, christia [at] ipac.caltech.edu.
