Fellowship

The KASI-Arizona Joint Postdoctoral Fellowship is a collaboration between Steward Observatory and the Korea Astronomy and Space Institute (KASI). This fellowship provides an opportunity for an exceptional recent Ph.D. recipient to pursue a program of research in any area of theoretical or observational astronomy or astrophysics. Recipients will receive support for four years beginning with two years at Steward Observatory, followed by two years at KASI in Daejeon, Korea. The Fellow will move to KASI at the beginning of third year in the Program, with relocation support covered by the program, subject to KASI rules.

This postdoctoral fellowship provides an opportunity for a recent Ph.D. recipient to pursue an ambitious program of research in any area of theoretical, experimental, or observational astronomy or astrophysics.

The Peter A. Strittmatter Post-Doctoral Fellowship for Advanced Study in Astronomy & Astrophysics is a new prize fellowship created in honor of Peter A. Strittmatter, who directed Steward Observatory for 37 years, starting in 1975. Under his tenure, the observatory grew dramatically in faculty and facilities, including completion of the Multiple Mirror Telescope, the Submillimeter Telescope, the Large Binocular Telescope, and membership in the Magellan Telescopes, among others.

The Steward Observatory Prize Postdoctoral Fellowship in Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics is a relatively new postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory. The successful candidate will have the freedom to pursue independent research as well as the opportunity to collaborate with numerous faculty members carrying out theoretical and observational research.
