Description
The Carnegie-Caltech Theoretical Astrophysics Fellowship is jointly run by Carnegie Science Observatories and Caltech. It supports original research in any area of astrophysics, pursued independently or in collaboration with staff, faculty, and students at the host institutions. The fellowship is intended for researchers whose work would benefit from the collaborators and resources available at both institutions.
Fellows pursue research topics of their choice. Selection emphasizes outstanding research accomplishments and promise of future achievement, with preference for researchers working in areas where Carnegie and Caltech have active and overlapping interests. The program combines access to Carnegie’s observing facilities in Chile with Caltech’s high-performance computing cluster and local computing resources.
