The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are funding
ten Einstein postdoctoral fellowship programs for pursuing research that
is broadly related to the science goals of the NASA Physics of the
Cosmos program. International applicants are eligible for this
postdoctoral fellowship. The duration of funding is about three years
which covers annual stipend, plus health insurance, relocation costs and
provides funding for research related travel, computing needs and other
research costs. The fellowship is awarded on the basis of the
applicant’s research proposal as well as the curriculum vitae, list of
publications, summary of previous and current research and three letters
of reference. The online application should be submitted by November 7,
2013.
Study Subject(s):
The fellowship provides an opportunity for highly qualified, recent
postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research that is broadly
related to the science goals of the NASA Physics of the Cosmos program.
Course Level: This fellowship is awarded for pursuing a
postdoctoral program at Host Institutions in USA.
Scholarship
Provider: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA)
Scholarship can be taken at: USA
Eligibility:- Applicants must have
received a Ph.D., Sc.D., or equivalent doctoral-level research degree in
astronomy, physics, or a related discipline after January 1, 2011.
-Applicants who have not yet formally received their degree must present
evidence of having completed the academic requirements before
commencing the Fellowship.
-Einstein Fellowships are open to
citizens of the United States and to English-speaking citizens of other
countries.
-Non-US applicants should read the VISA requirements
under the “Additional Information” section below before applying. [Note:
The United States is defined as the 50 states and the District of
Columbia.] Qualified applicants will receive consideration without
regard to race, creed, color, age, sex, or national origin.

and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Scholarship
Open for Students of Following Countries: USA and
international applicants are eligible for this postdoctoral fellowship
in the USA.
Scholarship Description: The National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) -sponsored Einstein
Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for highly qualified, recent
postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research that is broadly
related to the science goals of the NASA Physics of the Cosmos program.
This includes high energy astrophysics relevant to Chandra, Fermi,
XMM-Newton, and future NASA X-ray missions, cosmological investigations
relevant to Planck, WFIRST, or new dark energy missions, and
gravitational astrophysics relevant to LISA Pathfinder and subsequent
related missions. The proposed research may be observational,
instrumental, theoretical, archival or study sources from these missions
at other wavelengths. The main criterion for proposal selection is the
contribution of the proposed research program to the scientific return
of the Physics of the Cosmos missions. A Fellow’s program in this area
may be specifically appraised for continuation of the fellowship after
the second year. The Fellowship provides support for up to three years
at an annual stipend of approximately $66,500 plus health insurance,
relocation costs, and funding for research related travel, computing
needs, and other research costs. Contingent upon NASA funding, up to 10
Einstein Fellowships will be awarded in 2014. Proposals will be reviewed
by an independent panel of scientists. The Einstein Fellowship Program
is administered by the Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC) for NASA. Awards will
be made to support each Einstein Fellow through a United States Host
Institution designated by the Fellow.
Number
of award(s): 10 Einstein Fellowships will be awarded in 2014.
Duration
of award(s):
Contingent upon the availability of funding from NASA, Einstein
Fellowships are awarded through grants to Host Institutions for up to a
three-year period. New Fellowship Awards are issued with a two-year
period-of-performance and funded on an annual basis. Renewal for the
third year will depend on a review of scientific activity, particularly
as related to Physics of the Cosmos research. The Fellowship provides
support for up to three years.
What does it cover?
The initial annual stipend for an Einstein Fellow will be approximately
$66,500 and will be subject to annual review and adjustment. In
addition, the Einstein Fellow can receive health insurance, relocation
costs, and moderate support (up to $16,000 per year) for research
related travel, computing services, publications, and other direct
costs. It is expected that Fellows will devote their full-time effort to
their research programs. No additional stipend, salary, or other
remuneration may be accepted from another appointment, fellowship, or
similar grant during the period of the Fellowship. Einstein Fellows
shall not be offered a housing subsidy or allowance beyond what is
routinely offered to astronomy and physics fellows connected with that
institution.
Selection Criteria: Awards are made
on the basis of a review of the applicant’s research proposal as well as
the curriculum vitae, list of publications, summary of previous and
current research, and three letters of reference.
Notification:
Not Known
How to Apply: The mode of applying is
online.
Scholarship Application Deadline: The
deadline for applications is November 7, 2013.
