Description

The Carnegie-USC Theoretical Astrophysics Fellowship is a prestigious joint postdoctoral program offered by Carnegie Observatories and the University of Southern California's Department of Physics and Astronomy. Fellows split their time between both institutions and are expected to conduct original research in any area of astrophysics, either independently or in collaboration with staff, faculty, or students. The program seeks candidates with outstanding research accomplishments and strong potential for future achievement, with preference given to those whose work aligns with active and overlapping interests at both host institutions. Fellows benefit from access to world-class research environments, including major telescopes (notably the Magellan telescopes in Chile), high-performance computing resources, and extensive collaborative networks.
