NASA Hubble Fellowship Programme (NHFP) 2021
The NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) provides an opportunity for recent postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research which contributes to any area of NASA Astrophysics.
Application Deadline: 5th November, 2020, 7:00 PM EDT.
Eligible Countries: International
To be taken at (country): USA
About the Award: The NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) supports outstanding postdoctoral scientists to pursue independent research which contributes to NASA Astrophysics, using theory, observation, experimentation, or instrumental development. The NHFP preserves the legacy of NASA’s previous postdoctoral fellowship programs. Once selected, fellows are named to one of three sub-categories corresponding to NASA’s “big questions”:
- How Does the Universe Work? – Einstein Fellows
- How Did We Get Here? – Hubble Fellows
- Are We Alone? – Sagan Fellows
Eligibility:
- The NHFP is open to applicants of any nationality who have earned their doctoral degrees in astronomy, physics, or related disciplines on or after January 1, 2018, or who will receive their degree before September 2021. Applicants with a PhD award date prior to January 1, 2018 may be eligible in exceptional cases (see below). Graduate-student awardees who have not yet received their doctoral degree at the time of application must present evidence of having completed all requirements for the degree before commencing their fellowships.
- Eligibility of applicants for the 2021 class of NHFP Fellows may extend to those who received their PhD as early as January 1, 2017, if professional work was necessarily delayed by personal or family considerations. Such extended eligibility must be justified by emailing nhfp@stsci.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of the application deadline. We realize that many applicants may have had their research programs disrupted by the pandemic. We will take this into account when granting extensions for next year (applicants for the 2022 class). Extensions this year are for people whose ability to put in a successful application last year was affected by their personal or family situation.
- NHFP Fellowships are open to English-speaking citizens of all nations. Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, creed, color, age, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, veteran status, disability, or national origin. Women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Value of Award: The NHFP provides salary support plus benefits for up to three years, and an additional allowance for travel and other research costs.
Duration of Programme: 3 years
